Publication date Dipolydora was not published until 1881. Although Blake (1996:181) gives the date as 1879, Dipolydora is not mentioned in the 1879 (probably published 1880) paper he cites. [details]
Synonymy Dipolydora is listed as an invalid synonym of Polydora in Fauchald (1977). Resurrected by Blake (1996) to contain a group of Polydora with hooded hooks with shafts without constriction and with notochaetae on chaetiger 1, thus subdividing the large genus Polydora. [details]
Taxonomy Dipolydora was introduced by Verrill (1881:320 in a footnote) for his Polydora concharum. The stated differences from Polydora are not significant today, apart from the comments on the pygidium. [details]
