Taxonomy Hartman (1948: 64) examined and describes the original material of which she states there are numerous specimens from two locations, including an epitoke, and one lot from Valparaiso includes several species. She did not accept the synonymy by Ehlers (1901) to Nereis callaona Grube, 1857 [details]
