note: According to this phylogenetic study, Meioceras could be a synonym of Caecum [details]
From editor or global species database
Phylogeny The genus Meioceras is nested within a clade of Caecum species, so indicating that it might be a synonym of Caecum, but for a final conclusion more specimens should be studied, see Egger et al., 2020: 31. [details]From other sources
Habitat Known from seamounts and knolls [details]
