Status This nominal genus was introduced with two nominal species, Spiroglyphus politus Daudin, 1800 and Spiroglyphus annulatus Daudin, 1800. Widely used since the 1840s as molluscan genus and mostly applied to entrenching vermetids in today’s concept of Dendropoma. Hartman (1959: 47) included Spiroglyphus in her list of possible polychaete annelid genera. Keen (1961: 184, 191) stated that the included species “should probably classed as annelids” and for Spiroglyphus it is “advisable to set it aside as a genus dubium”; she subsequently (Keen & Hadfield 1985) sought suppression of the name under I.C.Z.N. rules. Placed on the Official Index of Rejected and Invalid Generic Names in Zoology in Opinion 1425 (I.C.Z.N. 1987). [see Bieler & Petit, 2011: 18-19] [details]
