Editor's comment Records under this name mostly have been synonymised with Pomatoceros triqueter; however, a number of taxa have been confused under S. triquetra, e.g. Alder (1867) is Chitinopoma serrula, Baster (1760) see Serpula vermicularis, Fabricius (1780) and Philippi (1844) are indeterminable, Gualteri (1742) more likely is a Filograna, Montagu (1803) has been attributed to S. vermicularis as well as to Hydroides norvegicus; partly in Zibrowius (1969: 6)  [details]
