Isis coccinea Ellis & Solander, 1786 is a synonym of Wrightella coccinea which was originally described from the Seychelles and only occurs in tropical Indo-Pacific waters. Whitelegge's material was possibly Mopsella zimmeri which is represented by many Watson's Bay specimens in the Australian Museum.
