“…We identified the present host maldanid as N. personata because it possessed 22 chaetigers and the anal funnel was equipped with 16 papillae (Johnson 1901;Imajima and Shiraki 1982;Imajima 1996;De Assis et al 2007); ours is the first record of L. axisadversum from this host species. However, the two maldanids N. minor and N. personata are quite similar to each other in shape, and the alleged morphological differences between the two (i.e., number of chaetigers: 22 in N. personata vs 23 in N. minor; Khlebovich 1961;Tarakanova 1974;Imajima and Shiraki 1982) may simply represent intraspecific variation; indeed, they were once regarded as conspecific (Pettibone 1954).…”

The solitary entoproct Loxosoma axisadversum Konno, 1972 was found on the body surface of the maldanid polychaete Nicomache personata Johnson, 1901 obtained among roots of the seagrass Phyllospadix iwatensis Makino collected at a depth of about 1 m in Oshoro Bay, Hokkaido, Japan. The species had previously been known from elsewhere in northern Japan, attached to another maldanid, Nicomache minor Arwidsson, 1907. The morphology of the new material is briefly described with photographs taken in life. A preliminary phylogenetic analysis using concatenated partial sequences of the mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) gene, as well as the nuclear 18S and 28S rRNA genes, placed L. axisadversum as the sister taxon to all the rest of Solitaria included in the analysis, indicating non-monophyly of the genus Loxosoma Keferstein, 1862.

“…Maldaninae and Euclymeninae share a straight cephalic keel and borders on the cephalic plate (Mangum, 1966;Light, 1991), while Nicomachinae has a strongly arched cephalic keel (Day, 1967;De Assis et al, 2007a, 2007b.…”

“…The thorax is formed by the first three chaetigers, in which the circular muscles are relatively thicker than the longitudinal muscles (Pilgrim, 1966). Parapodia are biramous, with cylindrical, truncate notopodia, bearing tufts of notochaetae, while anterior neuropodia have acicular spines or rostrate uncini (Day, 1967;Imajima & Shiraki, 1982a;De Assis et al, 2007a) (Fig. 3).…”

BackgroundThe last annotated checklist of marine polychaetes in Greece was published in 2001. Since then, global taxonomic progress, combined with many new species records for Greece, required a thorough review of the taxonomic, nomenclatural and biogeographic status of the national species list. This checklist revises the status of all extant polychaete species reported from the Greek Exclusive Economic Zone since 1832. The work was undertaken as part of the efforts on compiling a national species inventory (Greek Taxon Information System initiative) in the framework of the LifeWatchGreece Research Infrastructure.New informationThis checklist comprises an updated and annotated inventory of polychaete species in Greek waters, compiled from literature reports, online databases, museum collections and unpublished datasets. The list provides information on 836 species-level taxa from Greece, of which 142 are considered questionable. An additional 84 species reported in the past are currently considered absent from Greece; reasons for the exclusion of each species are given. Fourteen species are reported here for the first time from Greek waters. At least 52 species in the present list constitute in fact a complex of cryptic or pseudo-cryptic species. Forty-seven species are considered non-native to the area. In addition to the species-level taxa reported in this checklist, eleven genera have been recorded from Greece with no representatives identified to species level. One replacement name is introduced. For each species, a comprehensive bibliographic list of occurrence records in Greece and the synonyms used in these publications are provided as supplementary material. Where necessary, the taxonomic, nomenclatural or biogeographic status is discussed. Finally, the findings are discussed in the wider context of Mediterranean polychaete biogeography, taxonomic practice and worldwide research progress.
