Taxonomy Lavesque et al (2021: 34) examined the holotype in order to compare it with Lanice conchilega and their new species, Lanice kellyslateri. They concluded it definitely differed from their new species, including in tube morphology, but they did not decide if it was a valid species, distinct from L. conchilega, as the holotype of Terebella pectoralis was not in good condition.
