Notes
Questionable status. Records of Sphaerosyllis brevicirra from the Western Mediterranean by Alós (1989) and from the Aegean Sea ( Simboura 1996, Çınar 1999) belong to an undescribed Prosphaerosyllis species ( San Martín 2003). Faulwetter et al. (2011a) examined the holotype of Prosphaerosyllis brevicirra from the Red Sea and found that the species bears a conspicuous papilla on each dorsal cirrus. All descriptions and illustrations of Prosphaerosyllis brevicirra from the Mediterranean lack these papillae. In addition, these specimen descriptions differ from Prosphaerosyllis brevicirra by the absence of dorsal cirri on chaetiger 2 (reported as present by Alós (1989) but in fact absent ( San Martín 2003) and by thicker aciculae.
