A GENERIC REVISION OF THE BRACKISH-WATER SERPULID FICOPOMATUS SOUTHERN 1921 (POLYCHAETA: SERPULINAE), INCLUDING MERCIERELLA FAUVEL 1923, SPHAEROPOMATUS TREADWELL 1934, MERCIERELLOPSIS RIOJA 1945 AND NEOPOMATUS PILLAI 1960

The brackish water serpulid genera Mercierella, Mercierellopsis, Neopomatus and Sphaeropomatus are synonymized with Ficopomatus, including four species: F. enigmaticus, F. macrodon, F. miamiensis and F. uschakovi. The geographical distributions of the species are illustrated, and the confused identity of tropical specimens has been clarified, at least in part. The generic position of Ficopomatus capensis is discussed. Fossil records of Mercierella and related genera most probably do not belong to the genus Ficopomatus.
