Serpula vermicularis Linnaeus, 1767 Table 4 Type locality. European Seas. Not present in the Suez Canal, but see Hydroides elegans , Hydroides spp., Serpula hartmanae and S. jukesii sections, above. Remarks. As discussed above, the taxon Serpula is difficult to classify. The record of S. vermicularis by Selim (2009: 73) from the Suez Canal is unlikely to belong to this boreal-temperate taxon. Given as a listing in a table only, not even with the number of opercular radii, presumably it should be attributed to an unidentified Hydroides species juvenile stage with a primary operculum, or possibly even to Serpula hartmanae . Without verification from direct examination of the specimen, it is presently only possible to regard this record from the northern canal as questionable. Comparative material examined. Atlantic: North Atlantic: Lervik, Stordoe, Hardanger Fjord, Norway, 183–238 m, VI.1892, det. S.F. Harmer Serpula vermicularis , CUZM, 5 specs.
