Genus Lygdamis Kinberg, 1867 View in CoL

Lygdamis View in CoL .— Kirtley 1994: 116; Capa et al. 2012: 261–263; Hutchings et al. 2012: 21.

Type-species. Lygdamis indicus Kinberg, 1867 .

Remarks. Lygdamis nasutus n. sp. and most congeneric species bear considerably larger opercular papillae (1–4 pairs) on the dorsal margins of the opercular lobes than other sabellariid genera ( Bhaud 1975b; Kirtley 1994; Hutchings et al. 2012; present study). This could be a generic attribute that has so far been overlooked.
