1990
A new genus and species of the Syllidae (Annelida, Polychaeta) from south India
Zoologica Scripta
19(2): 165-167
Publication
A syllid species new to science is described from intertidal sandy sediments on the east coast of India, for which a new genus is erected: Psammosyllis aliceae gen. et sp.n. Incorporation into either the Eusyllinae or the Exogoninae is unresolved, because it possesses characters of both of these poorly defined subfamilies.
