Notes
Reported from Greece by Arvanitidis (1994) and Kitsos (2003). Type locality: Mediterranean (Adriatic). Arvanitidis (1994) notes some differences in the individuals he examined compared to the description provided by Fauchald (1992). Fauvel (1917) regards Eunice purpurea as junior synonym of Eunice roussaei Quatrefages, 1866 and the species has since then been part of the confusion concerning large eunicids in the Mediterranean (see remarks under Eunice aphroditois Pallas, 1788). Fauchald (1992) considers it a valid species by investigating material from the Adriatic and Zanol and Bettoso (2006) highlight specific differences that do not occur in Eunice roussaei .
