None. Begins "In connection with an extended review of the polynoid genera, based on a study of the type-species, it was found that Scalisetosus Mclntosh (1885) has been used for a heterogenous group of species. The genus has served to include species with setae as transparent as crystal and the neurosetae characterized by the presence of a basal semilunar cusp or pocket, although this particular feature was not shown on the figure of the neurosetae of the type-species, S. ceramensis, by Mclntosh (1885, pl.10A, fig. 14). Any species equipped with this peculiar type of neurosetae has been placed in Scalisetosus, regardless of other characters."
