Namanereis littoralis
Hutchings & Turvey, 1982
Ecology: FT
Distribution: AT, NT, AU, PAC, ANT
Habitat: ES
Comments: The widespread distribution of this species at high southern latitudes suggests that multiple species have been reported under this name. Accordingly, it was designated as a species group by
Glasby (1999)
. Although the species is apparently confined to the upper littoral zone of the coast, it is often found associated with freshwater seepage (
Rozbaczylo 1975
).
