Status Dalyell's figure (plate XX figure 19) shows what looks like the spirally curved body of a spionid with a pair of long tentacles. Both Johnston (1865: 202) and McIntosh (1915: 196) suggested Nereis contorta was a Polydora-group spionid. However, either it does not have chaetiger 5 spines or Dalyell failed to detect them. Nereis contorta is likely a spionid and definitely not a nereidid. [details]
