Regional Records: Xantho superbus Dana, 1852a: 74; 1852b: 167; 1855, pl. 8, fig. 5a-b (Raraka). - Lophozozymus superbus - Holthuis, 1953: 23 (Raroia). - Morrison, 1954: 13 (Raroia). - Guinot, 1979: 63 (Moruroa); 1985: 451 (List). - Poupin, 1996a: 46, 76 (Checklist). - Lophozozymus incisus - Forest & Guinot, 1962: 62 (Biogeography "Tahiti-Tuamotu") not Lophozozymus incisus (H. Milne Edwards, 1834) = L. superbus (Dana) (cf. Remark). - Not Lophozozymus superbus - Nobili, 1907: 388 = L. edwardsi fide Forest & Guinot (1961: 56) & Guinot (1979: 63). - Remark: Forest & Guinot (1962: 62) have recorded Lophozozymus incisus (H. Milne Edwards, 1834) in French Polynesia because it has formerly been considered as a synonym of L. superbus (Dana). This opinion has been changed later on (see for example Holthuis, 1953, or Guinot, 1979).
