Stylochus californicus Notes


Hyman L (citation)- p 287, "...seems to occur usually in association with bivalve mollusks.  The specimens sent to
me by the MacGinities were taken in burrows of the rock-boring clam Barnea pacifica.  Mention is made by the
MacGinities in their book 'Natural history of marine animals' of a boat bottom covered with bivalves among
which crawled dozens of specimens of Stylochus californicus (erroneously referred to as Cryptophallus
magnus)."
