Taxonomy Untill Zibrowius unraveled the complex, this taxon very often was confused with Pomatoceros lamarcki; records before 1968 should be revised critically. Records from outside the Boreal and Mediterranean-Atlantic Provinces too are suspect, for instance Fauvel (1933) from the Gulf of Suez is Spirobranchus tetraceros; Rullier 1964 (Cape Verde Islands) = Pseudovermilia occidentalis [details]
