Taxon Notes:

Spirobranchus kraussii, originally described from South Africa, was previously considered to be a widespread Indo-Pacific species. Recent genetic work has shown that it is a species complex and that S. kraussii s.s. is restricted to southern and eastern Africa. Material from other areas, including Australia, is genetically distinct and a detailed revision is needed to determine the correct names to be used.
