Notes
Species complex. Neotype from Genoa, Italy.
Simboura and Nicolaidou (2001)
report
Ophryotrocha puerilis
from Greece at species level, as it is reported on other parts of the Mediterranean as well (
Castelli et al. 2008
,
Cinar
et al. 2014
,
Nunez
et al. 2013
,
Mikac 2015
). However,
Taboada et al. (2017)
provide molecular evidence of at least two cryptic species under the name
Ophryotrocha puerilis
in the Mediterranean Sea.
