Description
Serpula vermicularis Linnaeus, 1767
Table 4
Type locality. European Seas. Not present in the Suez Canal, but see Hydroides elegans, Hydroides spp., Serpula hartmanae and S. jukesii sections, above.
Remarks. As discussed above, the taxon Serpula is difficult to classify. The record of S. vermicularis by Selim (2009: 73) from the Suez Canal is unlikely to belong to this boreal-temperate taxon. Given as a listing in a table only, not even with the number of opercular radii, presumably it should be attributed to an unidentified Hydroides species juvenile stage with a primary operculum, or possibly even to Serpula hartmanae. Without verification from direct examination of the specimen, it is presently only possible to regard this record from the northern canal as questionable.
Comparative material examined. Atlantic: North Atlantic: Lervik, Stordoe, Hardanger Fjord, Norway, 183–238 m, VI.1892, det. S.F. Harmer Serpula vermicularis, CUZM, 5 specs. Largest, length 58 mm; opercular diameter, 3 mm; 60 radii (36– 46 –60, s.d. = 9.08, N = 5, radii).—Mediterranean: Much Levant Mediterranean material in the National Natural History Collections of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem presently determined as Serpula vermicularis (see Ben-Eliahu & ten Hove 1992; Ben-Eliahu & Fiege 1996).
