 Present Inaccurate Introduced: alien Containing type locality
From editor or global species database
Classification Included in the Sigalionidae by Fauchald (1977). Following Petersen (1998) they should be included in a separate family Pholoidae [details]
Etymology Latinised personal name from the Greek. According to Johnston Pholoe was one of the nereid nymphs. Author quote "As Pholoe, most that rules the monsters of the main." Drayton, Polyolbion, Song xx. [details]
Taxonomy Worms of the genus Pholoe are common and abundant in marine benthos. In northern Europe, 1 to 3 species may be present in a single sample but not recognised as distinct. Four valid species are common in European inshore waters, but inadequate descriptions and species misidentifications have resulted in most of them being misidentified as the western North Atlantic P. minuta, not known to occur in European waters. [details]
Type species Records giving Aphrodita minuta Fabricius as type species (eg Hartman Catalogue p.117) are based on the (incorrect) assumption that Pholoe inornata is a junior synonym of P. minuta (it was referred to P. minuta by Malmgren, 1865). Also, even if a junior synonym, the type species name would still be P. inornata [details]Unreviewed
Habitat Known from seamounts and knolls [details]
