Specimens are fragile and easily damaged or broken during sampling making identification difficult. The most recently described species, <em>Dysponetus joeli</em> Olivier <em>et al.</em>, 2012, from the Bay of Biscay and English Channel, was described from a few small, damaged and poorly preserved specimens. New specimens from the Isles of Scilly, in much better condition, resembled <em>D. joeli</em> except for the absence of ventral cirri on segment 3. Examination of the type material of <em>D. joeli</em> showed it to be identical to these new specimens and highlighted errors in the original description of the species. This paper corrects the errors and a revised key to species is produced. The differences between <em>D. joeli</em> and the two most similar species, <em>D. bipapillatus</em> Dahlgren, 1996 and <em>D. macroculatus</em> Dahlgren, 1996 are also detailed.</p>}, number={27}, journal={European Journal of Taxonomy}, author={Darbyshire, Teresa}, year={2012}, month={Nov.} }
