Taxonomy Kupriyanova et al (2015:280) Compared to H. albiceps "H. trivesiculosa has an exceptionally large vesicular dorsal verticil spine which is more than 5 times longer than the smaller verticil spines." p.294 "Hydroides trivesiculosa can usually be distinguished from H. albiceps by the exceptionally large size of the dorsal bulbous verticil spine, and the lower number of verticil spines, but there are (few) transitional forms. Additionally, molecular studies are needed to determine whether H. trivesiculosa and H. albiceps are separate species." [details]
