Notes
Species complex.
Spiochaetopterus costarum
was long believed to be a cosmopolitan species but in fact the name has been applied to a number of pseudo-cryptic species (e.g.
Bhaud 1998
,
Bhaud et al. 2003
). Mediterranean specimens are currently considered to belong to
Spiochaetopterus costarum
sensu stricto, as the type locality of the species is in the Gulf of Naples.
