From editor or global species database
Status Sikorski (2013) transferred his Malacoceros jirkovi Sikorski, 1993 to Spio, despite the presence of prostomial horns (Sikorski (2013) states the horns can be absent in this species). Meißner et al (2014), apparently unaware of the 2013 paper, examined a paratype and maintained the species in Malacoceros. [details]
