SUMMARY
The original description by Linnaeus (1766) of S. nudus reported the type locality as the European ocean. Nevertheless in the revision of the genus Sipunculus, Cutler & Cutler (1985) refers only to the type of S. titubans, a species considered by them as conspecific with S. nudus. This type specimen was collected in Puntarenas, Costa Rica.
