Notes
Species complex. The complex of pseudo-cryptic species around Branchiosyllis exilis is confused and in need of revision and it is likely that specimens around the world recorded under the name Branchiosyllis exilis belong to different species ( San Martín et al. 2008). Specimens from the Mediterranean recorded as Branchiosyllis exilis could also belong to the native Mediterranean species Branchiosyllis cirropunctata (Michel, 1909), as the two species differ mainly in the shape of the shaft head of the falcigers and Branchiosyllis cirropunctata was considered a synonym of Branchiosyllis exilis until recently.
