Notes

Licher (1999) synonymised Syllis truncata cryptica with Syllis gerlachi . San Martín et al. (2017) examined the holotype of Syllis gerlachi and found it to differ from Mediterranean specimens of Syllis truncata cryptica in the shape of the posterior aciculae and other chaetal features (no exact details given). They consider the synonymy incorrect, but as they do not formally re-instate Syllis truncata cryptica , we here report records of both species under the name Syllis gerlachi until further evidence is provided.
