From editor or global species database
Etymology Pseudopolydora auha is named for Auha Island, off Kuwait, Arabian Gulf. As the name is unchanged from the placename it must be a noun in apposition, and unchanging if recombined. [details]Habitat Burrows in "shell limestone encrusted by a coralline alga. Whether the worms made the burrows themselves or occupied empty holes made by other organisms remains uncertain." [details]
Taxonomy authors: "Adults of P. auha sp. nov. appear very similar to those of P. uphondo Simon, Sato-Okoshi & Abe, 2017 and P. eriyali Simon, Sato-Okoshi & Abe, 2017 both of which were described from South Africa by Simon et al. (2019)" However, they are all genetically distinct members of the P. antennata group. [details]
Type locality Auha Island, 29.3764° N, 48.4391° E; low intertidal; from shell limestone encrusted by coralline alga [details]
Type specimen Described from the two specimens known, a holotype and paratype [details]
