Streblospio gynobranchiata Rice & Levin

Streblospio gynobranchiata Rice & Levin, 1998

Ecology: FT

Distribution: NA, NT

Habitat: ES, SL?

Comments: Streblospio species are difficult to distinguish morphologically—reproductive features should be used in conjuction with morphological features (Rice & Levin 1998). The report by Detwiler et al. (2002) of another Streblospio, S. benedicti Webster from the Salton Sea, California, needs to be verified as this area is close to the distribution range of S. gynobranchiata .
