About Baseodiscus edmondsoni
Baseodiscus edmondsoni has a documented Kauaʻi occurrence in the cited scientific record. The record is tied to pp. 101–106 and the source evidence is dated historical pre-1947. This is a historical or source-bounded occurrence record rather than a claim about present abundance or distribution.
The Atlas retains the original evidence trail and the current taxonomic review note. No nomenclatural change requiring action was established in this audit pass. Modern nemertean treatments retain the name, but older literature contains synonymy disagreement; retain with historical-synonymy note.

Process and seasonal context
- Seasonal description
- Baseodiscus edmondsoni is documented in a Kauaʻi source record. Coe reports this as one of only two nemertean source concepts found by Verrill during several weeks of intertidal collecting at Lihue; current synonymy requires reconciliation. Current accepted-name reconciliation remains open where needed.
