Wide geographical distributions of polychaete species, whether or not they are referred to as cosmopolitan, are often suspect. Detailed study usually finds that more than one species is involved. It is less time­consuming to synonymise species, than to spend time studying each in fine detail. The distribution of

However, some species really do have a wide, if not a cosmopolitan, distribution. The wider, somewhat linear distribution of
