Introduction

Previously identified as Pseudopolydora antennata from SA and WA, but described as a new species by Simon et al. (2019). We include the WA distribution of records previously referred to as P. antennata but note that Simon et al. (2019) did not include this material in their study and that further work is required to confirm the identity of WA material.
