“…The effectiveness of incorporating DNA data in studies of meiofaunal taxonomy has become apparent for many taxa, including Nemertodermatida (Meyer-Wachsmuth et al, 2014), Proseriata (Casu and Curini-Galletti, 2006;Scarpa et al, 2015), Gastrotricha (Kieneke et al, 2012), Nemertea (Tulchinsky et al, 2012;Leasi and Norenburg, 2014), Annelida (Di Domenico et al, 2014c;Martínez et al, 2014), and Rotifera (Fontaneto, 2014). While our SEM observations revealed some subtle differences in ciliation pattern between T. itoi and T. nipponicus, before comparing their DNA sequences we were uncertain whether these two represented different species.…”

The marine interstitial annelid Trilobodrilus itoi sp. nov., the sixth member of the genus, is described on the basis of specimens collected intertidally at Ishikari Beach, Hokkaido, Japan; this is the second species in the genus described from the Pacific Rim. In addition, T. nipponicus Uchida and Okuda, 1943 is re-described based on fresh topotypic material from Akkeshi, Hokkaido, Japan. From both species, we determined sequences of the nuclear 18S and 28S rRNA genes, and the mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) gene. Molecular phylogenetic trees based on concatenated sequences of the three genes showed that T. itoi and T. nipponicus form a clade, which was the sister group to a clade containing the two European congeners T. axi Westheide, 1967 and T. heideri Remane, 1925. The Kimura two-parameter distance for COI was 22.5-22.7% between T. itoi and T. nipponicus, comparable with interspecific values in other polychaete genera. We assessed the taxonomic utility of epidermal inclusions and found that the known six species can be classified into three groups.

“…Species of Saccocirrus are dominant in the swash and surf zone of reflective sandy beaches, a highly turbulent environment inhabited by few other taxa (Di Domenico et al, 2014a. Species of Saccocirrus are non-selective particle feeders, capable of shifting from suspension to deposit-feeding (Di Domenico et al, 2014b, 2014c, a feature that allows them to exploit the scarce food resources available (McLachlan and Brown, 2010). This peculiar feeding behaviour may increase the frequency of accidental capture and ingestion of microfibres, which are likely to stay in suspension in the turbulent environment inhabited by species of Saccocirrus.…”

“…The genus Saccocirrus was recently split into the two genera Saccocirrus Bobretzky, 1872 (without pharynx, mainly occurring in the Mediterranean and along European coasts) and Pharyngocirrus Di Domenico, Martínez, Lana and Worsaee, 2014 (with pharynx, in tropical latitudes) based on morphological and molecular analyses (Di Domenico et al 2014). …”

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.
