Notes

Reported from Greece by Arvanitidis (2000a) but specimens of Aglaophamus malmgreni ( Théel, 1897) by von Marenzeller (1902) could belong to Aglaophamus pulcher (see notes there). In the Mediterranean also known from abyssal canyons and plains in the western basin ( Ravara et al. 2010), otherwise distributed in the North East Atlantic. May have been confused in the past with Nephtys hystricis McIntosh, 1900 and Nephtys incisa Malmgren 1865 ( Rainer 1991) and therefore been overlooked in the area.
