Revision of Hermodice Kinberg, 1857 (Polychaeta: Amphinomidae)
The genus Hermodice Kinberg, 1857 was established with the species Aphrodita carunculata Pallas, 1766, based on the shape and development of the caruncle. Several species were later described within the genus; however, it is currently regarded as monotypical, with H. carunculata as a widespread spec...
