The genera Pomatoceros View in CoL , Pomatoleios and Spirobranchus
Pillai (2009: 146–148) makes a good case for synonymising these three genera on morphological criteria, uniting about 30 taxa that have been kept apart for almost a century in a single genus. A full discussion of this synonymy is not within the province of the present paper. Given the genetic tools available today, however, this synonymy should be backed by genetic data. For the time being, we prefer to use the traditional taxonomy.
