[Annelida] A little question

[Barbara Mikac]

Dear Miguel,

Palola siciliensis (Grube, 1840) is a synonym of Eunice siciliensis  
Grube, 1840. Grube described the species in the paper:

Grube, E. (1840) Actinien, Echinodermen and Würmer des Adriatischen–  
und Mittelmeeres. Königsberg, 92 pp.

I think that Palola siciliensis Baird, 1869 is a mistake.

Cheers,
Barbara
