Somewhere here in my files I have a reference that shows that Nereis
arenaceodentata Moore, 1903 from New England (type locality =
Massachusetts) has a different chromosome number than N.
arenaceodentata from California. This suggests that the Nereididae
include a number of cryptospecies that need to be checked VERY
carefully.
If I can find my notes (it ain't snow - yet-- it's paper), I'll post the
ref.
