Additional material. AUSTRALIA: WESTERN AUSTRALIA. Denmark, Ocean Beach , algae, 18 Nov. 1975, coll. & id. Hartmann-Schröder, holotype of Synpalposyllis australiensis , ( HZM P-17400) . Singapore, syntype of Odontosyllis hyalina Grube, 1878: 129 , ( MPUW 325 ) .

comparison to non-epigamic specimens, and it is difficult to assess if both species are valid or synonymous. The syntype ( MPUW, 325) is in poor condition, covered by crystals of formalin, but the chaetae appear different (see above); so at this stage we are accepting both species as valid.

Habitat. Occurring on algae, dead coral and coarse sediments, from intertidal to shallow depths.

Distribution. Australia (Western Australia, New South Wales, Queensland).
