Bispira Explained
Bispira is a genus of marine bristleworm in the family Sabellidae.[1] Its members were initially included in genus Sabella by Grube in 1851. In 1856, Krøyer described Bispira as a separate genus.[2] Members of Bispira are defined by spirally-coiled, equally-divided branchial lobes.
