Notes
Species complex. Considered cosmopolitan in the past, but Marphysa sanguinea actually comprises a complex of numerous pseudo-cryptic species ( Zanol et al. 2016). Hutchings and Karageorgopoulos (2003) designated a neotype based on pectinate chaetae distribution instead of branchiae and Hutchings et al. (2012) encourage re-examination of all material outside the English Channel and North Sea. Recent studies have described several new species similar to Marphysa sanguinea or resurrected species from synonymy with the latter ( Lewis and Karageorgopoulos 2008, Molina-Acevedo and Carrera-Parra 2015, Zanol et al. 2016, Liu et al. 2017). Wijnhoven and Dekker (2010) question the presence of Marphysa sanguinea in the Mediterranean Sea and encourage comparisons of specimens with the neotype.
