Diagnosis. Operculum a soft basal ampulla and a distal brown chitinous cap, which may be elongated and divided into up to 7 layers by partitions. Cap conical or flat, then often with simple terminal spinelet. Peduncle cylindrical or slightly compressed and wrinkled (see, however, remarks). Tube semicircular to trapezoidal in crosssection, rugose, generally with 4 (3–7) longitudinal keels and some peristomes. Remarks. In addition to the generic remarks, above, we want to draw the attention to the following observations. Some of Dew’s specimens (1958: 54–57) from the aquarium at Taronga Zoo were restudied by one of us (HtH, 1975) and were exceptional in the presence of a kind of pseudoperculum. This character only has been reported for the Mediterranean/Atlantic taxon Vermiliopsis striaticeps (Grube, 1862), see ten Hove & Kupriyanova (2009: 14). Since this character hardly ever has been mentioned in the literature, its value should be checked in a very necessary revision of the genus. The same applies to the absence/presence of “wings” on the opercular peduncle, clearly present in the syntypes of Vermiliopsis glandigera Gravier, 1906 a, though not mentioned in the original description (see ten Hove & Kupriyanova 2009: 22). Molecular genetic studies are needed to resolve the complex. Reproduction. Specimen from SAM E 3590 was found brooding lecithotrophic larvae in the tube. Distribution. Unknown, likely Indo-Pacific. : Published as part of Kupriyanova, Elena K., Sun, Yanan, Ten Hove, Harry A., Wong, Eunice & Rouse, Greg W., 2015, Serpulidae (Annelida) of Lizard Island, Great Barrier Reef, Australia, pp. 275-353 in Zootaxa 4019 (1) on pages 340-341, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4019.1.13, http://zenodo.org/record/289495 : {"references": ["Gravier, C.
