Odontosyllis detecta Augener, 1913: 236, pl. III, fig. 33, text-fig. 34.

Odontosyllis detecta .— San Martín & Hutchings 2006: 286 –287, fig. 22A–C.

Material examined. AM W.44734, MI QLD 2387.

Remarks. The examined specimen is an epitoke. This species has been found in the west Pacific (Australia, Japan), though San Martín (1990) reported it from Cuba. The latter identification may need confirmation with more data (i.e. molecular information) in order to confirm the expansion of its distribution to the Atlantic Ocean. First report from Queensland.

Habitat. Sea grasses, sand and algae, in intertidal waters.

Distribution. Australia (Western Australia, Queensland, New South Wales, South Australia), Japan, Cuba (?).
