Branchiomma species
The Branchiomma species in WoRMS (2015) are not completely updated, in fact, its list reports 34 species but some are not valid names. After our review, we refine the list of Branchiomma to 29 confirmed species (Table 2), as some belong to other genera: B. claparedei is Megalomma claparedei Gravier, 1906 and a Lessepsian migrant species; B. kumara, B. picta and B. serratibranchis are Pseudobranchiomma according to Knight-Jones (1994); B. sanjuanense is Sabellastarte magnifica (Shaw, 1800) according to Hartman (1956: pg. 299) and Jones (1962; pg. 201); and B. violacea is Hypsicomus phaeotenia (Schmarda, 1861) according to Hartman (1965).
