Taxonomy

source of synonymy Pixell, Helen L. M. (1913). Polychaeta of the Indian Ocean, together with some species from the Cape Verde Islands. The Serpulidae, with a classification of the genera Hydroides and Eupomatus. Transactions of the Linnean Society of London. (Series 2) 16: 69-92., available online at http://biodiversitylibrary.org/page/25257250
note: Eucarphus treated as a junior synonym of Hydroides [details]

Diagnosis Author: "Operculum petiolatum, margine dentato. superne paleis in infundibulum dispositis ; paleæ basi spathulatæ, connatæ, superne liberæ, extremitate utrinque aurita , interdum aculeo intermedio terminali, unde uti cruciati" from which the essence is that operculum spines have lateral processes [details]

Synonymy erected as a subgenus of Hydroides for H. crucigera, H. dirampha, H. cumingii, H. sanctaecrucis, H. microtis, and H. benzoni, but not distinct from the nominal genus according to Pixell (1913), a view supported by Bastida-Zavala & ten Hove (2002) [details]
