Editor's comment In relation to a Red Sea record of Amoureux they included, Wehe & Fiege (2002 checklist) stated "Uchida (1978) regarded this taxon as distinct. According to ten Hove (pers. comm.), however, it belongs to H. albiceps or H. trivesiculosus [sic] and the respective specimens need to be checked. Therefore this taxon is herein regarded as questionable". Hydroides exaltata vesiculosa of Managareva requires review, is unlikely to be a subspecies of H. exaltata, and appears very similar to H. albiceps, but currently remains valid. [details]
