Feeding behavior of Scolelepis sp. (Polychaeta: Spionidae) [PDF]
and may be part of a species complex, because some morphological variations (probably induced by changes in environmental factors such as salinity, temperature, or different sediment types) can be found in individuals from the same locality. Individuals can reach lengths of about 80 mm.

Generic interrelationships within the Spionidae (Annelida: Polychaeta) [PDF]
Abstract The phylogenetic relationships of spionid genera are estimated from parsimony analyses of morphological characters, with Trochochaetidae, Poecilochaetidae and Uncispionidae as outgroups. A first analysis of currently recognised genera proved inconclusive and even exclusion of six of the most polymorphic genera resulted in 13 305 equally ...
