Remarks.
Maciolek (1985)
described
Minuspio delta
as a species with wide distribution: northeast South
America
; West Africa; Delaware; Oregon; Gulf of California;
520–2200 m
.
Maciolek (1985)
in her revision of
Prionospio
synonymized part of the
M. cirrifera
of
Foster (1971a)
with
P
. (
Minuspio
)
delta
and also synonymized
P. longibranchiata
Reish, 1968
with
M. delta
. We believe that the specimens recorded from the Grand Caribbean as
M. delta
will be found to represent an additional species if this group of species is reviewed based on material from world-wide localities.
