Diagnosis Original diagnosis by Claparède (1870: 487): "Corpus longitudine circa 2cent, depressum. Lobus cephalicus in processum frontalem productus, margine antico emarginato, angulis non productis. Oculi nulli. Cirri tentaculares mediocres. Mutatio setarum ventralium in segmento septimo. Setae dorsuales in segmentis anterioribus 20 similes, in caeteris dissimiles." [details]
Distribution Mediterranean Sea: Gulf of Naples (Italy). [details]
Etymology Not explicitly stated in the original description. The specific epithet flava is a Latin adjective meaning 'yellow' or 'golden', and refers presumably to the yellow colour of the specimens: "La région antérieure est à peu prés incolore, mais tout le reste de l'animal paraît d'un jaune assez vif. Cette couleur provient uniquement de l'intestin" (Claparède, 1870: 487). [details]
Habitat In sand: "Cette Polydore vit dans le sable en compagnie de la Hyalinoecia rigida. Ses tubes sont formés par du sable agglutiné" (Claparède, 1870: 487). [details]
Type locality Gulf of Naples, Mediterranean Sea (gazetteer estimate 40.7°, 14.25°). [details]
