Hola Roberto, as regards to your query, and as indicated by Larry Lovell, I
can confirm by personal experience that juvenile forms of Eunicidae can be
confused in different genera. A study case is the genus Lysibranchia, that
resulted to be a juvenile stage of Marphysa bellii.....with the lateral
palps not yet developed...and therefore not yet valid.
Carinos, hasta pronto,
Maria Cristina
