Type designation Neanthes vaalii is listed first but otherwise is not selected as type species. Perhaps Hartman 1959 effectively designated it (Hartman catalogue: 249), if not selected elsewhere earlier. Bakken & Wilson (2005: 527) wrongly state the type species is N. vaalii by original designation. [details]

Habitat Known from seamounts and knolls [details]
