The original name of this species is Capulus ungaricus (Linnaeus, 1758).[1] Later on, a few authors (e.g. Jeffreys, 1865, Thorson, 1941, Ziegelmeier, 1966, Lindner, 1977) changed the name erroneously in Capulus hungaricus.[1] The correct date of publication is 1758 and not 1767 as Abbott (1974) and Lindner (1977) cited.[1]
The distribution of Capulus ungaricus includes the sea off Greenland to off Florida.[1] It is less common in the North Sea.[1]
Minimum recorded depth is 1 m.[2] Maximum recorded depth is 838 m.[2] It is known also from seamounts and knolls.[1]
It is a suspension feeder.[1]
