Notes

Questionable status. Reported from Greece by von Marenzeller (1902). Marenzeller's description differs from the current concept of Aglaophamus malmgreni in the first branchial chaetiger and the pharyngeal papillation. Marenzeller describes his specimens with branchiae starting at chaetigers 6-7 (in one specimen at chaetiger 10) and states that his specimens correspond to the description of Nephtys malmgreni by McIntosh (1900) (listed by McIntosh under the name Nephtys longisetosa ) in the number of papillae. McIntosh describes 15 rows of 11-15 papillae. Branchial and papillation characters correspond to Aglaophamus pulcher (Rainer, 1991), but Marenzeller's material should be examined for confirmation. In the Mediterranean, Aglaophamus malmgreni has also been reported from the Adriatic Sea ( Mikac 2015), otherwise it is distributed in circumpolar regions and records from southern Europe require confirmation ( Ravara et al. 2010).
