Taxonomy Authors: "Hydroides lirs n. sp. differs from H. exaltata in having a pair of lateral spinules on the incurved dorsal spine, which is absent in H. exaltata. From H. minax the new species can be distinguished by the following characters: dorsal hook is smoothly curved in H. lirs n. sp., but strongly curved in H. minax; verticil spines in H. minax are short and lack internal spinules that are present in H. minax. The basal teeth typical for of the funnel radii in H. lirs n. sp. were not observed either in H. exaltata or in H. minax. Hydroides lirs n. sp. also resembles H. pseudexaltata Pillai, 2009, but can be distinguished from latter by the presence of lateral spinules in its dorsal spine, internal spinules in the verticil spines (as opposed to the absence of lateral and internal spinules in H. pseudexaltata) and its sharp-tipped funnel radii (as opposed to almost T-shaped tips in H. pseudexaltata)."
