discussion
Remarks. This species was originally described as Sertularella robusta from the Aleutian Islands, Alaska by Clark (1877). That binomen is a permanently invalid junior primary homonym of S. robusta Coughtrey, 1876 (Calder & Stephens 1997). Kirchenpauer (1884) proposed the valid current name of the taxon, S. albida.
