Type locality.

Neira, Banda Island, Indonesia.

Distribution.

Indonesia, French Polynesia, and Hawaii (USA), shallow waters.

Remarks.

This species was described based on two specimens from the Banda Islands, Indonesia. The diagram of mesenteries, part of cnidome, and tentacle organization are present in the original description, however, there are some evident similarities in relation to Isarachnanthus panamensis . Furthermore, unpublished molecular data indicate similarity between these two species and studies on this clade should be prioritized.
