Editor's comment Probably indeterminable. Viviani's figures suggests Nereis mucronata Viviani and N. radiata were epitokes of syllids. This was also evidently the view of McIntosh, who included a mention of the three Nereis of Viviani in a discussion (1908: 141) of Syllidae 'phosphorescence' [details]
Type locality "Waters of the Port of Genoa, Italy, under the walls of St. Lazzari" [details]
