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.
