  • (Polychaeta) from the CANARY ISLANDS
    BULLETIN OF MARINE SCIENCE, 48(2): l8D-188, 1991 POL YNOIDAE (pOLYCHAETA) FROM THE CANARY ISLANDS M. C. Brito, J. Nunez and J. J. Bacallado ABSTRACT This paper is a contribution to the study of the family Polynoidae (Polychaeta) from the Canary Islands. The material examined has been collected by the authors from 1975 to 1989. A total of 18 species was found belonging to 8 genera: Gesiel/a (I), Po/ynoe (1), Adyte (I), Subadyte (I), Harrnothoe (11), A/entia (1), Lepidasthenia (1) and Lepidonotus (I). Ten species are new to this fauna and one, Harrnothoe cascabullico/a, is new to science. Furthermore, the genera Po/ynoe, Adyte and Lepidasthenia are recorded for the first time in the Canary Islands. The Polychaeta of the Canary Islands are enumerated in the provisional cata- logue of Nunez et al. (1984), in which are recorded 148 species, 12 of which belong to the family Polynoidae. Samples from the Canary coastline were examined and members ofPolynoidae studied. A total of 173 specimens was studied, belonging to 7 subfamilies, 8 genera, and 18 species, of which 9 species are recorded for the first time in the Canarian fauna. Worthy of note is the large number of species belonging to the genus Harmothoe (11), one of which, H. cascabullicola is new. METHODS The material examined was collected from 1975 to 1989, from 61 stations, at 45 localities on the Canary coasts (Fig. I). The list of stations, with their localities, types of substrate and collecting data are listed in Table I. The methods used in collecting depended on the type of substrate.

The family Polynoidae includes a group of scale worms which is abundant in several marine environments, and many members are associated with other invertebrates. The genus Harmothoe is one of the largest in number of species within the polynoids, with more than 150 described species. We summarize in a checklist information relative to 23 nominal species of Harmothoe from South America, with valid names, synonyms and original citations, discuss possible taxonomic problems, and provide illustrations of specimens from the northeastern coast of Brazil. Redescriptions of two species based on new specimens collected along the littoral of the State of Pernambuco, northeastern Brazil, are included. Harmotthoe fuscapinae and Harmothoe lanceocirrata are reported for the first time for Brazilian waters. Key words: Scale worms, polynoids; South Atlantic, new records.

L. squamatus is a long-living, slow growing broadcast spawner, while H. imbricata is a short-living and quick growing species, with complex reproductive behaviour. These different life strategies may allow them to respond in a different way to the environmental limitations of the study site, this likely being the most appropriate explanation to the observed alternation in dominance.
