Hello José,
The species is fairly well documented following the article of *Mackie & Gobin (1993), which indicates the habitat as intertidal in rock crevices and under stones, and doubts the John Day identification from offshore Africa. I’m sure you’ve seen this article.
The type locality is San Sebastian, Bay of Biscay, in Spain, near the French border. Quatrefages describes the collection locality as near the lighthouse point. I can't see a lighthouse there now on a map in the present day, but I would place the geolocation as close to 43.324°, -1.994°, based on the geography. Quatrefages has a long section on San Sebastian in his travelogue “The rambles of a naturalist on the coasts of France, Spain, and Sicily” but has nothing on collecting a maldanid. He doesn’t mention going out in boats while there, so most likely his collecting there was all shore-based.
If you were seeking all geolocations for J. clymenoides from people who may have collected it, but not published it, then you’ve asked in the right place. Also you can try aggregators of museum data like OBIS/GBIF, but sometimes such information is unreliable. Good luck.
Cheers,
Geoff

Dear friend polychaetologist
I am need some date. I wish someone to help me. I am need GPS data where *Johnstonia
clymenoides* (Maldanidae) specimens were collected, and if possible, the depth in which it occurs. Could someone tell me that work or source where I can get this data? This species was originally described by North Atlantic (San Sebastian - reported in France (Atlantic and Mediterranean), Israel and Morocco, but this paper not cited the GPS nor depth. Posteriorly, Day
(1967) reported this species from Southwest Africa in a depth of 100-499 meters.
Thank you very much,
Best wishes
