Notes

The definition of Inanidrilus Erseus, 1979 (subfamily Phallodrilinae) is emended to include Inanidrilus mexicanus sp. nov. from the eastern part of the Gulf of Mexico, and Inanidrilus falcifer sp. nov. from coral reefs at Barbados, West Indies. The two new species differ from I. bulbosus Erseus, 1979 by their possession of paired spermathecae and from each other in the morphology of their spermathecae, atria, and penial setae.
