Notes
Possibly a complex of pseudo-cryptic species. Campoy (1982) found differences in chaetal features in specimens of Xenosyllis scabra from different localities of the Iberian Peninsula. San Martín et al. (2008) describe two new species from Australia. One of these, Xenosyllis scabroides San Martín, Hutchings & Aguado, 2008, differs from Xenosyllis scabra only in the shape of the compound chaetae. The authors suggest that material from outside the type locality (Kvarner Gulf, Adriatic) should be carefully examined as it may belong to different, undescribed species.
