Abyssoninoe hibernica (McIntosh) (Polychaeta, Lumbrineridae) a valid species from the Northeast Atlantic

Abstract

URGORRI 1994 1230. Abyssoninoe hibernica (McINTOSH) (Polychaeta; Lumbrineridae) a valid species from the Northeast AtlanticSarsia 79:157-162. Bergen. ISSN 0036-4827.This paper reviews the taxomonic status of Lumbrineris hibernica (McINTOSH) which is recorded for the first time from the Iberian Peninsula. Its inclusion in the genus Abyssoninoe ORENSANZ and its relation with the other members of this recently erected genus, characterized by the shape of the maxilla IV, the antero-posterior variation of the hooded hooks and morphology of the parapodia, are discussed. Lumbrineris pseudo-fragilis AMou-REAUX, L. scopa scopa FAUCHALD and L. scopa aequilobata WINSNES are included as junior synonyms. The geographical distribution and ecological preferences of the species are presented.

New records of Lumbrineridae (Annelida: Polychaeta) in the Mediterranean biogeographic province, with an updated taxonomic key

“…The bathymetric range is fairly wide, ranging from shallow to bathyal waters (Parapar et al 1994). It is well distributed in the Temperate Northern Atlantic realm, from boreal waters of the Northern European Seas province (Norway) to the warmer waters of the Lusitanian province (Spain, Parapar et al 1994;Portugal, Martins et al 2012, 2013. Our report enlarges the area to the Mediterranean biogeographic province, following the marine bioregionalisation nomenclature proposed by Spalding et al (2007).…”

“…Chaetae of four types: capillary, bilimbate (in anterior parapodia, dorsal ones longer than ventral), truncate bilimbate (in Taxonomic remarks. No major differences were found comparing with the original description of McIntosh (1903) and Parapar et al (1994). Therefore, A. hibernica is the third species of the genus present in Mediterranean waters, together with A. bidentata and A. scopa.…”

“…A total of 21 specimens were found mainly distributed at 20 m depth ( Figure 2). The species seems to prefer fine-grained sediments with a high proportion of mud and clay (Parapar et al 1994;Martins et al 2012Martins et al , 2013. The bathymetric range is fairly wide, ranging from shallow to bathyal waters (Parapar et al 1994).…”

Polychaetes and oligochaetes associated with intertidal rocky shores in a semi-enclosed industrial and urban embayment, with the description of two new species

“…Porifera, Mollusca, Polychaeta, Isopoda, Ascidiacea, and meiofauna); most of these works, as is the case with those on the Polychaeta, deal exclusively with taxonomy and faunistics (e.g. Parapar 1991, Parapar et al 1992a, 1993a, 1994a. In contrast to this, the oligochaete fauna of the ria of Ferrol remains completely unknown as is almost the case overall for the coasts of the Iberian Peninsula.…”
