Type material Type material of V. pyripes could not be located at the SMNH, ZMUC or in Uppsala and is considered lost. However, the description and figures of Bovallius (1887c) readily distinguish this species. No precise type locality is given by Bovallius (1887a, c). He merely lists the distribution as “Tropical parts of Atlantic”. Type material of synonyms The syntypes of V. grandicornis (one male and one female) are in the MOM. The descriptions and figures of Chevreux (1900, 1935) readily confirm the synonymy. Material examined (56 specimens) Tasman Sea: 3 lots (SAMA), 4 specimens. North Atlantic: 1 lot (BMNH), 3 lots (USNM), 5 lots (ZMB), 4 lots (ZMUC), 26 specimens. South Atlantic: 1 lot (BMNH), 3 lots (ZMB), 10 specimens. North Pacific: 6 lots (LACM), 8 specimens. South Pacific: 1 lot (BMNH), 2 specimens. South Indian: 2 lots (SAM), 1 lot (ZMUC), 3 specimens. Red Sea (Gulf of Elat): 1 lot ...
