Sphaerosyllis magnidentata Perkins, 1981
Notes
Questionable status. Reported from Greece by
Koulouri et al. (2015)
, in the Mediterranean also known from Spain (
Tena et al. 2000
), otherwise distributed in the Caribbean. The Mediterranean occurrence record leads to the inclusion of the species in the key of Mediterranean
Sphaerosyllis
by
Faulwetter et al. (2011b)
, but the rarity of records indicates that it may in fact not be present in the region. A re-examination of the specimens is required to verify its presence in Greece and the Mediterranean.
