Remarks.
It has not been possible to check the validity of
Haplosyllis palpata
because: 1) the YPM could not confirm that the specimen marked on the microslide really corresponds to a
syntype
of the species, as it was mixed with specimens clearly belonging to
H. cephalata
; 2) the specimen is a juvenile, with most anterior cirri broken and the chaetae in a position that makes difficult accurate observations; 3) the original description lacks illustrations and does not provide enough information to characterize the species; 4) there is no other registered material.
