Hello João,
Platynereis coccinea (delle Chiaje) is a valid name. You can see its
taxonomic history at WoRMS:
http://www.marinespecies.org/aphia.php?p=taxdetails&id=130416
Be sure to check the links to its earlier names Spio coccineus, and
Nereis coccinea.
Claparède 1868 has probably the first detailed description.
It seems to be a distinctive Platynereis.
A modern description is in Vieitez et al. (2004:324) Fauna Iberica vol
25.
