From editor or global species database
Classification Lessi & Giangrande (2019) suggest the placement of Terebella comata in Streblosoma by Glasby & Hutchings 1987 is incorrect due to their wrongly matching specimens to Grube's species, and state the placement in Thelepus by Hessle was correct. [details]
