Synonymy Synonymised to Platynereis dumerilii (eg Fauvel, 1923) but Teixeira et al (2022: 1036) state that "N. megodon (Quatrefages, 1866) [...] is apparently synonymous with N. agilis [now Platynereis]. The latter name was chosen [as valid] based on priority". Teixeira et al (2022) do not include N. megodon in the formal synonymy for Platynereis agilis, for reasons unknown.
