«TYPE LOCALITY. Nouvelle-Hollande [= Australia].
DISTRIBUTION AND HABITAT. Mozambique-South Africa, Japan (as S. flabellum) and Indo-West Pacific, Hawaii, Qld, north WA; common under dead coral slabs or on the under faces of huge living Porites coral colonies also occurs in marine caves or on the walls of shipwrecks in 1-40m.
REMARKS. While we have been unable to obtain the holotype of Spondylus hawaiensis, Kay (1979) synonymised it with S. tembrosus Reeve, 1856 (= S. violaceus Reeve, 1856). Specimens of S. hawaiensis sent by Mr Chris Takahashi for examination, after cleaning, proved to be inseparable from S. candidus. Further examination of specimens of S. hawaiensis in the collection of one of the authors (KL) has led us to the conclude that these two species are the same.»
