Syllis (Typosyllis) armillaris. — Fishelson & Rullier, 1969: 60. Typosyllis armillaris. — Licher, 1999: 189 –199, fig. 84. Syllis armillaris. — San Martín, 2003: 423 –426, figs 232, 233.

Material examined. 1 spec. ZMA V.Pol. 2227.01 (as Syllis brachychaeta), Indonesia, Lesser Sunda Isl., anchorage E of Dangar Besar, Saleh Bay, dredge, trawl, reef expl., sand, coral, muddy bottom, down to 36 m, Siboga Expedition, Sta. 313, 14/16 Febr. 1900; 1 spec. ZMA V.Pol. 2227.02, 7º15´S 115º15.6´E, trawl, mud and broken shells, 289 m, Siboga Expedition, Sta. 12, 14 March 1899.

Comparative material examined. Syllis armillaris. Several spec. MNCN 16.01/7906-07, Spain, Almería, Cabo de Gata, 2 m, 36º46’49.11’’N 2º14’25.31’’W, Jan. 1987. (Identified by San Martín, 2003).

Remarks. The specimen agrees well with the previous descriptions, although the presence of slight differences in populations from different geographical locations suggests that it may be a complex of species (San Martín, 2003). Syllis brachychaeta and S. closterobranchia were synonymized by Augener (1927, and then used in his unpublished manuscript on the Siboga material), later both were synonymized with S. armillaris by Fauvel (1955), Day (1954, 1967) and Fishelson & Rullier (1969).

Distribution. Apparently cosmopolitan.
