Taxonomy Authors: "Absence of neuropodial lobes and neurochaetae on segment 1–3 distinguish S. sirikos, sp. nov. from all previously described Sirsoe (absent on segment 1 (S. grasslei), on segments 1–2 (S. methanicola), and on segments 1–2 (S. hessleri)). Ventral cirri elongate on segments 1–3 distinguish Sirsoe sirikos, sp. nov. from S. grasslei and S. hessleri (elongate on segments 1–2). Posterior placement of median antennae distinguishes S. sirikos, sp. nov., S. grasslei, and S. methanicola from S. hessleri (Blake, 1991)." [details]
Type locality Monterey Canyon, off California, on grey whale carcass, 36.6133, -122.4333, 2893 m [details]
