Remarks.
Syllis
is one of the taxonomically most difficult genera within the
Syllidae
due to the high diversity, lack of detailed descriptions and confusion in the generic nomenclature (
San Martín, 1992
). The genus currently comprises more than 130 species and is not homogeneous (
San Martín, 2003
), so further revisions are necessary. Following other authors (
San Martín, 1984
,
1992
,
2003
;
Licher, 1999
), subgenera are not accepted herein and
Typosyllis
is considered a synonym of
Syllis
(
San Martín, 2003
)
