Dipolydora Verrill, 1881 View in CoL

Dipolydora Verrill, 1881: 320 View in CoL ; Blake 1996: 181, resurrected and redefined.

Type-species. Polydora concharum Verrill, 1879 View in CoL . Designated by Verrill (1881), by monotypy.

Remarks. Dipolydora Verrill, 1881 currently comprises about forty species of polydorin spionids (tribe Polydorini Benham, 1896 sensu Radashevsky, 2012 ) that occupy diverse habitats from the intertidal to deep water. The name Dipolydora was not in use after its designation by Verrill (1881) until Blake (1996) resurrected it and assigned to it a series of Polydora Bosc, 1802 species that, in contrast to species of Polydora , had notochaetae on chaetiger 1 and lacked a constriction or manubrium on the shaft of the hooded hooks.

Nine Dipolydora View in CoL species were reported from Australian waters by Blake & Kudenov (1978) (as Polydora View in CoL species), McDiarmid et al. (2004) and Sato-Okoshi et al. (2008).
