Type locality: off Point Pinos Lighthouse, central California , 91–104 m , green mud and rocks. Only the holotype belongs to the genus Vermiliopsis ; the other specimens from the type-series, from San Nicolas Island , Southern California , belong to Pseudovermilia conchata (see ten Hove 1975 : 88 ).

Vermiliopsis infundibulum (not Philippi , 1844 ).— Hartman 1969 : 779 –780, Figs 1–5 ( Southern California , all figures were taken from Fauvel 1927 : 364 , Faune de France ); Berkeley & Berkeley 1961 : 662 –663 ( Carmel Canyon , Southern California ; 24–48 m ) ; Bailey-Brock 1976 : 77 –79 (Oahu Island , Hawaii ; 200–600 m ) . Pseudovermilia conchata (not ten Hove , 1975).— de León-González et al . 1993: 879 (Puerto Escondido Bay, Baja California Sur , epifauna on the oyster “ Spondylus princeps unicolor ”; 30 m ); Hernández-Alcántara et al . 2003 : 9 (Socorro Island , checklist). cf. Vermiliopsis multiannulata .— Dean 1996 : 84 (Golfo Dulce, Pacific coast of Costa Rica); Dean 2004 : 165–166 (list of polychaetes from Costa Rica). Vermiliopsis infundibulum glandigera complex.— López-García et al . 1997 : 67 ( Coiba Island , Panamá , on dead corals); Bastida-Zavala 2008: 53, fig. 13D ( Baja California Sur and Oaxaca ; 6–30 m ); Bastida-Zavala et al . 2013 : 349 (Oaxaca, checklist). Material examined. 13 specimens. Baja California Sur : UMAR-Poly 828-OH, 10 spec. (Caleritas Beach, La Paz Bay , March 1, 2006 , coll. DHP et al .); UMAR-Poly 829 (Mexican Pacific, probably Concepción Bay , sta. 173, no more data). Michoacán : UMAR-Poly 830 ( Caleta de Campos , on sabellariid tubes, December 17, 1994 , coll. RBZ). Oaxaca : UMAR-Poly 831 (Puerto Ángel, on rocks, April 18, 2009 , coll. JLR). Habitat. Subtidal ( 6–104 m , Moore 1923 ); Bailey-Brock (1976) recorded specimens from 200–600 m , from Oahu, Hawaii ; it is possible that these would prove to be a species different from Vermiliopsis multiannulata . In rock pools and on sabellariid tubes, also on spiny oysters “ Spondylus princeps unicolor ” (de León-González et al . 1993 ) and S. limbatus (Bastida-Zavala 2008) . Distribution. California ( Moore 1923 ), Hawaii ( Bailey-Brock 1976 ), and Tropical Eastern Pacific, from Punta San Juanico, western coast of Baja California Sur to Panamá ( Rioja 1941b ; López-García et al . 1997 ; Bastida- Zavala 2008 ). Remarks. The status of Vermiliopsis multiannulata was rather confused, type specimens and historical records are a mix of V. multiannulata , Pseudovermilia occidentalis and P. conchata ten Hove, 1975 (Bastida-Zavala 2008: 54) . Vermiliopsis multiannulata sensu stricto is part of the V. infundibulum / glandigerus /pygidialis complex (ten Hove & Kupriyanova 2009 : 102), that can only be solved with a thorough revision of the genus, including morphological and molecular characters and ecological aspects. For the Tropical Eastern Pacific we have used the local name V. multiannulata , following the suggestion of Tovar-Hernández et al . (2009b : 333). One of the reasons for this is that our taxon occurs infrequently in fouling samples from marinas and ports, a main dispersal mode for exotic species, and it is thus less likely that it has arrived as result of anthropogenic activities.
