Xenosyllis scabra (Ehlers, 1864)
Notes
Possibly a complex of pseudo-cryptic species.
Campoy (1982)
found differences in chaetal features in specimens of
Xenosyllis scabra
from different localities of the Iberian Peninsula.
San
Martin
et al. (2008)
describe two new species from Australia. One of these,
Xenosyllis scabroides
San
Martin
, Hutchings & Aguado, 2008, differs from
Xenosyllis scabra
only in the shape of the compound chaetae. The authors suggest that material from outside the type locality (Kvarner Gulf, Adriatic) should be carefully examined as it may belong to different, undescribed species.
