Remarks

The definition of the polyphyletic genus Neanthes introduced earlier by Bakken & Wilson (2005) through morphological phylogenetic analysis of Nereidinae sensu Fitzhugh (1987) and modified by Glasby (2015) and Villalobos-Guerrero & Idris (2021) is followed in the present study. For further details on the current taxonomic situation of the genus, see Davenport et al. (2020) and Villalobos- Guerrero & Idris (2021). The four species here morphologically delimited are still retained in Neanthes considering that genus definition.
