| Notes |
Editor's comment: S. giganteus corniculatus as mentioned by Imajima (1976) nowadays would be recognized as Spirobranchus paumotanus (Chamberlin, 1919) ; as mentioned by Bailey-Brock (1985) to Spirobranchus richardsmithi Pillai, 2009 in addition to taxonomic remarks, below. [details] Taxonomic Remark: In 1970, ten Hove split up the "circumtropical" Spirobranchus giganteus of authors in three what he at that time thought to be subspecies, in the meantime all recognized as species-complexes by themselves, totalling some 10 different species, see Fiege & ten Hove (1999 fig.4) for a graphic overview. What ten Hove thought to be the "subspecies" S. giganteus corniculatus nowadays is recognized as complex of about 7 species. The name giving S. corniculatus is one of those 7, but all records under the trinomen should be re-identified. [details] | |||||||||||||
