  • Identification Guide to the Planktonic Polychaete Larvae Around the Island of Helgoland (German Bight)
    HELGOL.~NDER MEERESUNTERSUCHUNGEN Helgol/inder Meeresunters. 48, 1-58 (1994) Identification guide to the planktonic polychaete larvae around the island of Helgoland (German Bight) S. Plate* & E. Husemann* * Biologische Anstalt Helgoland (Meeresstation); D-27483 Helgoland, Federal Republic of Germany ABSTRACT: The purpose of this work is to provide the means of identifying the planktonic larvae of the polychaete species appearing in the plankton around the island of Helgoland (North Sea). During a three-year survey in this area, the larvae of 54 species out of 24 families belonging to the orders Orbiniida, Spionida, Capitelhda, Phyllodocida, Oweniida, Terebelhda, Sabelhda and the former Archiannelida have been recorded. Illustrated keys to the families, genera and species are presented. To facilitate the identification, additional descriptions and information about the seasonal appearance of the species are given. INTRODUCTION More than 13 000 species of polychaetous annelids take part in the marine benthos communities worldwide. Their distribution, species composition and population density are monitored within various benthos surveys. For the North Sea, especially the German Bight and the Wadden Sea, much information about the benthic polychaete fauna is available (Caspers, 1950; Stripp, 1969; DSrjes, 1977; Rachor & Gerlach, 1978; Gillandt, 1979; Salzwedel et al., 1985; Rachor, 1990; Bosselmann, 1991; Kr6ncke, 1991). In contrast, the holoplanktonic polychaete species and the meroplanktonic polychaete larvae, which are only part of the plankton during a more or less expanded phase of their ontogenesis, have never received much attention. Meroplanktonic polychaete larvae are seldomly recorded during studies monitoring the North Sea plankton (Smidt, 1951; Giere, 1968; Fransz, 1981; Bosselmann, 1989; Belgrano et al., 1990).

  • A New Species of Lagis (Polychaeta: Pectinariidae) from Hong Kong
    Zootaxa 3264: 61–68 (2012) ISSN 1175-5326 (print edition) www.mapress.com/zootaxa/ Article ZOOTAXA Copyright © 2012 · Magnolia Press ISSN 1175-5334 (online edition) A new species of Lagis (Polychaeta: Pectinariidae) from Hong Kong YANAN SUN & JIAN-WEN QIU* Department of Biology, Hong Kong Baptist University, 224 Waterloo Road, Kowloon, Hong Kong E-mail: [email protected] * Author for correspondence Abstract Lagis crenulatus sp. nov., (Pectinariidae) is described based on specimens collected from an intertidal mudflat in an estu- ary of Hong Kong. The specimens are small, with a body length of 6.4 mm to 15.4 mm. Among a total of 10 described species of Lagis, L. crenulatus sp. nov., and L. abranchiata (Fauvel, 1932) are the only two without thoracic branchiae. Lagis crenulatus sp. nov., can be distinguished from L. abranchiata by having crenulated rather than knobbed margins in the scaphe, and lacking a pair of dorsal elongated pads on the third segment. Key words: Taxonomy, polychaete, Lagis crenulatus, new species, Hong Kong Introduction Pectinariids are commonly found in soft-bottom samples around the world. They are a family of polychaetes with several unique morphological characteristics. They live in a cone-shaped sandy tube made by them, therefore are often called “ice-cream cone worms”. Their first segment bears two bundles of stout golden chaetae (paleae) and a cephalic veil. Their posterior body section, the scaphe, bears spine-like chaetae forming an arch on both sides (Fauvel 1953; Ushakov 1955; Imajima & Hartman 1964; Day 1967). There has been some confusion in the generic designation in this family (Hartman 1941; Hutchings, 2000).

The polychaete worm family Pectinariidae is represented in Australian waters by five species (Amphictene favona n.sp., A. uniloba n.sp., Pectinaria antipoda Schmarda, 1861, P. dodeka n.sp. and P. kanabinos n.sp.). Pectinaria antipoda is redescribed and a neotype designated. Generic diagnoses are given for all genera including three not known from Australian waters. Additional characters are described for each genus that may facilitate the separation of species. A key to all genera and to species present in Australia is given, as are tables summarising the characters of all described species. HUTCHINGS, PAT, & RACHAEL PEART, 2002.

The entities that have financially supported the program include the following: U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Southwest Florida Water Management District South Florida Water Management District Florida Department of Environmental Protection Florida Coastal Zone Management Program Peace River/Manasota Regional Water Supply Authority Polk, Sarasota, Manatee, Lee, Charlotte, DeSoto and Hardee Counties Cities of Sanibel, Cape Coral, Fort Myers, Punta Gorda, North Port, Venice and Fort Myers Beach and the Southwest Florida Regional Planning Council. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS This document was prepared with support from the Charlotte Harbor National Estuary Program with supplemental support from Mote Marine Laboratory. The project was conducted through the Benthic Ecology Program of Mote's Center for Coastal Ecology. Mote staff project participants included: Principal Investigator James K. Culter; Field Biologists and Invertebrate Taxonomists, Jay R. Leverone, Debi Ingrao, Anamari Boyes, Bernadette Hohmann and Lucas Jennings; Data Management, Jay Sprinkel and Janet Gannon; Sediment Analysis, Jon Perry and Ari Nissanka.

  • View of the Discovery Progress of Polychaete Worms (Annelida) Has Never Been Done
    Pamungkas et al. Helgol Mar Res (2019) 73:4 https://doi.org/10.1186/s10152-019-0524-z Helgoland Marine Research ORIGINAL ARTICLE Open Access Progress and perspectives in the discovery of polychaete worms (Annelida) of the world Joko Pamungkas1,2*, Christopher J. Glasby3, Geofrey B. Read4 , Simon P. Wilson5 and Mark J. Costello1 Abstract Despite the availability of well-documented data, a comprehensive review of the discovery progress of polychaete worms (Annelida) has never been done. In the present study, we reviewed available data in the World Register of Marine Species, and found that 11,456 valid species of Recent polychaetes (1417 genera, 85 families) have been named by 835 frst authors since 1758. Over this period, three discovery phases of the fauna were identifed. That is, the initial phase (from 1758 to mid-nineteenth century) where nearly 500 species were described by few taxonomists, the second phase (from the 1850’s to mid-twentieth century) where almost 5000 species were largely described by some very productive taxonomists, and the third phase (from the 1950’s to modern times) in which about 6000 species were described by the most taxonomists ever. Six polychaete families with the most species were Syllidae (993 species), Polynoidae (876 species), Nereididae (687 species), Spionidae (612 species), Terebellidae (607 species) and Serpulidae (576 species). The increase in the number of frst authors through time indicated greater taxonomic efort. By contrast, there was a decline in the number of polychaete species described in proportion to the number of frst authors since around mid-nineteenth century. This suggested that it has been getting more difcult to fnd new polychaete species.
