Introduction

The Australian specimens of Namanereis littoralis closely approximate the description of the holotype of the species, although the morphological variation far exceeds the level normally attributed to taxa within the family. As such, the specimens are included in the description by Glasby (1999) under the informal ranking of "species group".
