Notes  Editor's comment: see remarks under Spirobranchus arabicus Monro, 1937 and the nomina nuda Spirobranchus cristatus Grube, 1862 and Spirobranchus kuwaitensis Pillai, 2009 as well [details]

Editor's comment: an additional synonym might be Vermetus indicus Daudin, 1800, also as Pomatoceros? indicus; Spirobranchus tricornis non Mörch, sensu authors, from non-Caribbean localities mostly belong to S. tetraceros as well. [details]

Status: regarded to be a complex of species by Frank & ten Hove (1992), Fiege & ten Hove (199: 362), and split into a number of taxa by Pillai (2009) [details]
