In spite of the rather extensive collections of polychaetes made in the Caribbean area, there have been no records of the monotypic genus Magelona. In the Gulf of Mexico there was but a single species recorded, and this, from a single locality. On the basis of personal collections and other material, it is apparent that at least one species of Magelona is widespread throughout the Gulf and that there are at least two more species in the general Gulf-Caribbean region.
