Material examined. Holotype NHM UK 2013.1134 and paratype NHM UK 2013.1135, Stn 135: Atlantic, Southeast (near Tristan da Cuhna Island); 1830 m.
Supplementary description. Zevina (1981a), includes descriptions of appendages (but see remarks).
Distribution. Atlantic, excluding polar areas;?Pacific, Southeast. Known depth range 600 to 2400 m.
Remarks. According to the revision of the scalpellids by Zevina (1981a), Scalpellum imperfectum (Pilsbry, 1907a: 75, fig. 30, pl. IV, figs 15–18) is accepted as a synonym of Verum carinatum. However, the details of the plates differ, in particular the V-shaped tergum of S. imperfectum differs from that of S. carinatum. The description of the appendages in Zevina (1981a) was translated from Pilsbry (1907a) and may not be related to V. carinatum. A redescription of this species is needed.
