Notes

Species complex. Spiochaetopterus costarum was long believed to be a cosmopolitan species but in fact the name has been applied to a number of pseudo-cryptic species (e.g. Bhaud 1998, Bhaud et al. 2003). Mediterranean specimens are currently considered to belong to Spiochaetopterus costarum sensu stricto, as the type locality of the species is in the Gulf of Naples.
