	note = {A LITERATURE STUDY OF REVISIONS IS PRESENTED IN A CATALOG CREATED TO OVERVIEW INFORMATION ON 617 SIPUNCULAN TAXA DESCRIBED FROM THE WORLD. SPECIFIC NAMES OF THE BINOMIAL CONSTITUTE ENTRIES TO THE CATALOG. THIS SYSTEM PROVIDES QUICK ACCESS TO THE STATUS OF A GIVEN SPECIES BY KEEPING ALL INFORMATION ABOUT A GIVEN SPECIES TOGETHER. THE NUMBER OF SIPUNCULAN TAXA WAS ESTIMATED AT ABOUT 367 IN 1972. DURING TWO DECADES OF REVISIONS, A GROOUP OF RESEARCHERS HAVE REDUCED THE NUMBER OF VALID SIP. TAXA TO 147 POLYTYPIC SPECIES AND 17 SUBSPECIES. THE VALID TAXA OF SIPUNCS. ARE PLACED IN 17 GENERA. EACH OF 5 GENERA CONTAINS ONLY A SINGLE SP.. THE 5 MOST SPECIES-RICH GENERA HAVE FROM 14-23 SSPECIES, VIZ. NEPHA, PHASCOLION, ASPIDO, PHASCOLOSOMA, \& GOLFINGIA. A TOTAL OF 169 TAXA HAVE BEEN REPORTED DURING 100 YRS OF SURVEYS IN THE INDIAN OCEAN. TODAY 90 OF THOSE TAXA ARE CONSIDERED SYNONYMS, 15 TAXA ARE SP. INQ. ETC.. WHILE 79 TAXDA ARE CONSIDERED VALID. RECENT REVISIONS HAVE ADDED 9 SP. AND 2 SUBSP. TO THE LIST OF VALID TAXA, MAKING A TOTAL OF 90 VALID TAXA IN THE INDIAN OCEAN. SPECIFIC MENTION OF SIPUNCULANS FROM THAILAND ONLY REFERS TO 8 VALID SP. CONSIDERATIONS IN REGARD OF GENUS AND SPECIES CONCEPTS ARE DISCUSSED TOGETHER WITH THE COMMEN5TS ON THE NUMBER OF SIP. TEAXA.},
