Characters: 1, 2, 4, 6, 15-17, 23, 36-38, 40, 42, 57-60, 74,

ASSUMED STATES FOR PURPOSE OF PREPARING KEY.—37,1;
38,1.
REMARKS.—Eunice bilobata is listed in Tables 27 and 29.
Enough fragments are present to indicate that the branchiae
continue beyond setiger 100, but whether the branchiae
continue to the end of the body cannot be determined based on
the fragmentary type. Eunice bilobata is the only species listed
in Table 29 with knobbed, distally expanded aciculae.
Eunice binominata Quatrefages, 1866
Eunice binominata Quatrefages, 1866:327.—Ehlers, 1887:85.
Eunice punctata Grube, 1856:59-60 [not Eunice punctata Risso, 1826].
REMARKS.—Quatrefages (1866) renamed Grube's species
because Grube's name was preoccupied and did not see any
material. Grube had a single specimen collected at St. Croix in
the West Indies at his disposal. The specimen is now missing.
Ehlers did not examine types in his review of the species. The
following is a summary of Grube's description:
