Several new species of genus Terebellides Sars, 1835 (Annelida, Trichobranchidae) have been recently described from the Northeast Atlantic Ocean after detection a large complex based on DNA sequence data previous research. Some those (belonging to so-called Group A) already elsewhere. In this paper, we revise several clades belonging Groups B, C and D resulting in identification five nominal species: gracilis Malm, 1874, atlantis Williams, 1984, williamsae Jirkov, 1989, irinae Gagaev, 2009,...
Two species of the genus Ophelina Örsted, 1843 (Annelida, Opheliidae) are reported from coast Kuwait (Arabian Gulf) after specimens collected in intertidal and shallow subtidal, namely arabica sp. nov. grandis (Pillai, 1961). The new is mainly characterised by features anal tube, which provided with about 25 annulations at each side; ventral margins fully fused while dorsal most their length but free distal end shape a conspicuous incision; posterior opened margins; tube also lacks marginal...
The number of new species described the genus Terebellides Sars, 1835 (Annelida, Trichobranchidae) in eastern Atlantic Ocean has greatly increased last years. Eleven these species, all originally NE Ocean, from Barents Sea to Gulf Guinea, have been studied using micro-computed tomography (micro-CT) thus revealing interspecific differences several elements internal anatomy such as proportion between stomach regions and size nephridia, lamellae digestive gland. Two morphotypes distinguished...
Eunice woodwardi Baird, 1869, originally described from the Ría de A Coruña (NW Iberian Peninsula), has been overlooked and never reported Atlantic coast of Spain after original description subsequent redescription holotype. In present study, we revised comparatively holotype, newly collected specimens this species identified as vittata (Delle Chiaje, 1829) western Mediterranean Sea. The validity E. is supported previous descriptions are complemented a throughout study external morphology by...
