Sphaerosyllis georgeharrisoni is a species belonging to the phylum Annelida, a group known as the segmented worms.^[1] Sphaerosyllis georgeharrisoni is distinct by its large parapodial glands with hyaline material; by its small size; short proventricle; a median antenna that is inserted posteriorly to the lateral antennae; as well as long pygidial papillae. Juveniles of S. hirsuta are very similar to this species. Sphaerosyllis pygipapillata has all of its antennae aligned, a smooth dorsum, while its pygidial papillae are longer and slender.^[1] The species' name honours George Harrison, musician who died prior to the species' describing article's publication.
