Taxonomy Eunice bassensis is poorly known. As McIntosh (1885) named a posterior fragment subsequent authors have been in difficulty in verifying what this species is. Benham (1915) matched one specimen from an uncertain location (several south Australia and Tasmania locations mentioned) to E. bassensis and fully described it. Fauchald (1986:245) reports on the McIntosh holotype and comments that he will describe Benham's material elsewhere but it appears he did not do this. Fauchald includes E. bassensis in a key under the couplet "Integument with white pigments patches; maximum number of branchial filaments about 10." Zanol et al (1992) matched further specimens from Tasmania and south Australia but do not describe them. [details]

From editor or global species database
Holotype The Natural History Museum, London, BMNH ZK 1885.12.207, as a posterior fragment of 50 mm and 55 segments, of which the last 22 are regenerating (fide Fauchald, 1992). [details]Identification On iNaturalist Eunice bassensis (now Leodice) has observation records from south Australia as a large pale brown eunicid, mottled with white. Some records show a much darker brown eunicid and may be a different species. The Museum Victoria web site https://collections.museumsvictoria.com.au/species/14311 has a photo of a large brown eunicid, location unstated, with well-developed pinnate branchiae from chaetiger 5, that was identified by Robin Wilson.
