Editor's comment Attributed to the subspecies Spirobranchus giganteus corniculatus by ten Hove (1970), the taxon luzonica nowadays should be placed in the Spirobranchus corniculatus-complex. My notes from 1969 are not detailed enough to decide to which of the three species of this complex it belongs. [details]
