 Present  Inaccurate  Introduced: alien  Containing type locality 
From editor or global species database
Classification Following the report of Capa, Hutchings & Peart, 2012 it is evident Sabellariidae do not belong with Sabellida and may be closer to Spionida. Thus they have been moved in the WoRMS classification to unplaced within InfraClass Canalipalpata (includes Sabellida, Spionida, Terebellida) [details]
