REMARKS: Recent analyses (Lezzi et al. 2015) suggest that Sabellaria alcocki Gravier, 1906, species described for the Indian Ocean and reported in the Mediterranean including the Adriatic Sea (Amoureux 1976; Castelli et al. 2008), should not be present in the Mediterranean area. Records probably correspond to specimens of S. spinulosa at different stages of development.
