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of polychaete species in Greek waters, compiled from literature reports, online databases, museum collections and unpublished datasets.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.

“…Such damage precludes the existence of the molluscan hosts especially in the most inner part of the bay. This in turn limits the distribution of boring spionids, especially subtidal species, Dipolydora giardi and Polydora hoplura (previously recorded as Polydora uncinata in Japan: see Sato-Okoshi et al 2017;Radashevsky and Migotto 2017), which were collected mostly from subtidal gastropods in the present and previous studies (Sato-Okoshi 1999; Sato-Okoshi and Abe 2012). Large molluscs such as the scallop Patinopecten yessoensis, subtidal limpet Niveotectura pallida (as Acmaea pallida), and abalone, which spionids had often infested in the previous study (Sato-Okoshi 1999), do not distribute in or rarely inhabit Tokyo Bay.…”

An investigation of the distribution and habitat utilization of spionid polychaetes in Tokyo Bay revealed eight shellboring and 18 non-boring (interstitial, epifaunal, and infaunal) species, of these 11 species were recorded in the area for the first time. Most of the boring and interstitial species, which are associated with mollusc shells, were mainly distributed in exposed environments favoured by their host species outside Tokyo Bay. Only two boring species, Polydora websteri and Polydora haswelli preferred the enclosed waters of Tokyo Bay. Epifaunal and infaunal species were mainly distributed in the sandy and/or muddy sediment within Tokyo Bay. A widespread or localized distribution pattern within species was observed corresponding to the larval developmental mode. We concluded that habitat availability determines distribution patterns of spionid polychaetes around Tokyo Bay. Novel habitats for Boccardiella hamata, Boccardia proboscidea, Carazziella spongilla, and Polydora cornuta were recorded. Boccardia pseudonatrix, which was recorded for the first time from Japan with clear locality information, is considered to be a potential alien species.

“…Earlier, Radashevsky & Migotto (2016) for the first time described worms of the same morphology from São Paulo, Brazil, and California, USA, and showed that P. uncinata originally described from Japan by Sato-Okoshi (1998) was identical with P. hoplura from the type locality in Italy. SatoOkoshi et al (2016) showed P. uncinata from Japan and Australia and P. hoplura from South Africa were not genetically different (based on 16S, 18S, 28S rRNA and cyt b sequences) and the worms exhibited great overlap in morphology.…”

“…It was reported as one of the most serious pests causing damage to cultivated oysters and abalone in South Africa (Nel et al 1996;Simon et al 2006Simon et al , 2010Simon & Booth 2007) and mortality of abalone cultivated in Tasmania (Lleonart 2001;Lleonart et al 2003). As Polydora uncinata Sato-Okoshi, 1998 (see Radashevsky & Migotto 2016;Sato-Okoshi et al 2016), it was reported from Japan (Sato-Okoshi 1998, 1999, Chile (Radashevsky & Olivares 2005), South Korea , and Western Australia (SatoOkoshi & Abe 2012) (Fig. 1).…”

Polydora hoplura Claparède, 1868 is one of the largest species among congeners, attaining 6 cm in length and 2 mm in width for more than 200 chaetigers. It is a harmful shell-borer unintentionally transported with objects of aquaculture across the world. Brief original description and absence of type material resulted in confusion with the identification of this species. Herein, we review previous records, establish a neotype and redescribe P. hoplura based on newly collected material from the type locality, the Gulf of Naples. We also describe worms from other localities in Italy, illustrate adult morphology and report gradual development of taxonomic features of this species in ontogenesis based on material from South Korea.
