From editor or global species database
Editor's comment Although Weisbord (1964) placed Serpulorbis birugosus Weisbord, 1962 tentatively in the synonymy of H. bispinosus, at least 9 species of Hydroides from shallow Caribbean localities may show a tube with two longitudinal keels (see Bastida-Zavala & ten Hove 2002); the synonymy should be confirmed by comparison of actual material. [G Read, Aug/2016: this synonymy based on old damaged tubes is extremely dubious and should best be disregarded. Indeterminable identity] [details]Remark including the Caribbean records of Hydroides cruciger(a) and H. sanctaecrucis non Kroyer in Mörch sensu Diaz Diaz & Linero Arana [details]
