Taxonomy The original description of the species is not sufficiently good to characterize it or to discriminate it from other species ocurring in the same area. Besides, the type material is lost (Hartman, 1956). For these reasons Nygren (2004) considered the species as Epigamia incertae sedis. [details]

Distribution North East Pacific, from San Francisco Bay to Canada. [details]Etymology The specific epithet varius is the Latin word for 'diverse', 'different' or 'various', and refers probably to the three different regions in which the body of the type specimen, a Sacconereis, was divided.

Besides, the type material is lost (Hartman, 1956). For these reasons Nygren (2004) considered the species as Epigamia incertae sedis. [details]
