Editor's comment unavailable name as a post-1960 variety. The database record currently places Spirobranchus tricornigerus var. racemosus Pillai, 1971 as a synonym of Spirobranchus decoratus Imajima, 1982, a much later name. No supporting citation is given so the basis of this placement is unknown [G Read, September 2021] [details]
