Spio filicornis (
Mueller
, 1776)
Notes
Questionable status. Frequently reported, but its presence in the Mediterranean has been questioned by
Simboura (1996)
. In addition,
Meissner
et al. (2011)
redescribed the species from the type locality (
Iluilarssuk
, Greenland) and concluded that traditionally used diagnostic characters are inappropriate. The same authors limit the species' distribution to Greenland and encourage the re-examination of material from other locations.
