Editor's comment Treadwell (1941:28) states that "In a bottle labeled “luminous worms, from Castle Harbor, Bermuda” were numerous fragments of an Autolytus that is evidently of a new species. No entire individuals were present and I have no information concerning absolute size or differences in body regions." It is therefore unsurprising these bioluminescent worms were later reidentified by Hartman as Odontosyllis enopla. [details]
