Diagnosis.
Odontosyllis
without pigmentation pattern, with short, bidentate blades, teeth of similar size, with rounded space in between, 5–6 teeth on trepan, moderately large occipital flap.
Remarks.
We noticed a variation in size among specimens of
O.
cf.
fugurans
along the Brazilian coast. In southeastern
Brazil
, the largest specimen analysed was
5 mm
long, with 50 chaetigers (
Fukuda & Nogueira 2006
), whereas in northeastern
Brazil
we found specimens up to
15 mm
long, incomplete, with 88 chaetigers.
San Martín (2003)
examined specimens
40 mm
long, with ca. 100 chaetigers, from
Spain
. Nevertheless, our specimens match the description of
O.
cf.
fulgurans
by
Fukuda & Nogueira (2006)
and Fukuda
et al.
(2013), except for the inverted dorso-ventral gradation in length of the blades of falcigers, which was misinterpreted by
Fukuda & Nogueira (2006)
.
Type
locality.
France
(Mediterranean Sea).
Distribution.
Probably a cosmopolitan species, occurring in tropical and temperate waters (
San Martín 2003
). However, a detailed comparison among specimens from different areas could possibly indicate a complex of species.
