Batillipes annulatus de Zio 1963

Distribution

provided by World Register of Marine Species
This species is known mainly from Adriatic localities with a single report from the Brazilian coast. It has been collected from different types of sand in the intertidal zone. In our opinion, the presence of this species in Brazil needs confirmation, particularly as early stage development and adults of Batillipes species can be very similar and large intraspecific variability has been observed in this genus (see remarks for B. gilmartini).
