Holotype SCSFRI NSB20140001, geounit Hainan [details]
From editor or global species database
Etymology The name lingshuiensis refers to Lingshui County, Hainan Province, China, which is the type locality [details]

Habitat The authors state P. lingshuiensis "inhabits both shell burrows and mudtubes" with the mudtubes both on shell and on structures. However, when this occurs with Polydora-group species it can be an indication that the species is epifaunal but opportunistically secondarily using existing borings on the bivalve shells. That this is likely in this case is suggested by the author's comment that "P. lingshuiensis was commonly found co-occurring with Polydora haswelli Blake and Kudenov, 1978 in calcareous burrows" [details]
