However, the name was first validly published in the sense of the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature by Chen ''et al.'' (2015)".〔Bouchet, P. (2014). Chrysomallon squamiferum.

It has subsequently also been found in Solitaire field, Central Indian Ridge (off Mauritius) 〔 〕 and Longqi (aka. Dragon) field, Southwest Indian Ridge.〔 〕〔 〕 Longqi field serves as the type locality and all type material have originated from this vent field.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Scaly-foot gastropod」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
