The species named A, B, etc. were identified with the Taxonomic Guide to the polychaetes of the Northern Gulf of Mexico (Uebelacker and Johnson 1984) and they have not been formally named yet, so we kept them as in the guide. The species named 1, 2, etc. are considered potentially new to science and need further revision
