Notes
Questionable status. Species complex. Reported frequently from Greece and other parts of the Mediterranean (
Cinar
2005
,
Castelli et al. 2008
,
Mikac 2015
). However, Mediterranean records probably belong to
Prionospio maciolekae
Dagli
and
Cinar
2011 (see remarks there and under
Prionospio cirrifera
Wiren
1883). Otherwise distributed in the West Atlantic and East Pacific.
Simboura (1996)
describes two forms of
Prionospio cf. multibranchiata
, the one with longer gills which was later re-identified as
Prionospio pulchra
Imajima, 1990.
