“…This species, originally described as belonging to the genus Nephtys , is here transferred to the genus Micronephthys based on the small body size of the specimens, the poorly developed parapodial lamellae, the bifid palps and the presence of smooth or slightly spinulated chaetae (instead of barred) in the preacicular position of the median and posterior parapodia (see Ravara et al , 2010b, table 5, as Bipalponephtys ; Murray et al ., 2015, 419). Ravara et al (2010b) proposed a new genus, Bipalponephtys , for the small body species with bifid palps and capillary-like preacicular chaetae on posterior chaetigers.…”

Six nephtyid species were identified from samples collected off the west coast of Saudi Arabia. Two of these species had been previously reported for the Red Sea (Inermonephtys aff. inermis, Nephtys palatii), three are new records (Aglaophamus lobatus, A. cf. verrilli, Micronephthys stammeri) and one is new to science (Inermonephtys aramco). Inermonephtys aramco was collected in the southern region of the Red Sea at depths between 60 and 83 m. It is characterized by the presence of branchiae from chaetiger 15 or 16, well-developed parapodial prechaetal lamellae, broadly rounded notopodial postchaetal lamellae and rudimentary neuropodial postchaetal lamellae. The species Nephtys palatii is transferred to the genus Micronephthys. Based on the current finding, the previously known bathymetric range of Micronephthys stammeri is extended from 4–7 to 17 m, and occurrence depths for N. palatii are given for the first time (4–90 m). Full descriptions are included for all species except M. stammeri. An identification key for all the species known to occur in the Red Sea is provided.

“…This casts doubts on their validity, particularly when trying to compare them with others described for the same location. To even complicate the situation, the existence of cryptic species has already been pointed out (e.g., Micronephthys longicornis (Perejaslavzeva, 1891) [364], Micronephthys sphaerocirrata (Wesenberg-Lund, 1949) [365], Nephtys cirrosa Ehlers, 1868 [65], and Nephtys hombergii Savigny 1822 [366]) [318,333,367]. Therefore, some (if not many) widely widespread taxa may likely involve more than one species (e.g., Aglaophamus verrilli (McIntosh, 1885) [88], Inermonephtys inermis (Ehlers, 1887) [301], Micronephthys sphaerocirrata, Nephtys caeca (Fabricius, 1780) [70], and Nephtys paradoxa Malm, 1874 [368]) [318,322,333].…”

This, together with the fact that several species still need to be correctly allocated within the family, denote that further local works and comprehensive revisions, preferably including molecular tools, are still required.…”

On the Diversity of Phyllodocida (Annelida: Errantia), with a Focus on Glyceridae, Goniadidae, Nephtyidae, Polynoidae, Sphaerodoridae, Syllidae, and the Holoplanktonic Families

Phyllodocida is a clade of errantiate annelids characterized by having ventral sensory palps, anterior enlarged cirri, axial muscular proboscis, compound chaetae (if present) with a single ligament, and of lacking dorsolateral folds. Members of most families date back to the Carboniferous, although the earliest fossil was dated from the Devonian. Phyllodocida holds 27 well-established and morphologically homogenous clades ranked as families, gathering more than 4600 currently accepted nominal species. Among them, Syllidae and Polynoidae are the most specious polychaete groups. Species of Phyllodocida are mainly found in the marine benthos, although a few inhabit freshwater, terrestrial and planktonic environments, and occur from intertidal to deep waters in all oceans. In this review, we (1) explore the current knowledge on species diversity trends (based on traditional species concept and molecular data), phylogeny, ecology, and geographic distribution for the whole group, (2) try to identify the main knowledge gaps, and (3) focus on selected families: Alciopidae, Goniadidae, Glyceridae, Iospilidae, Lopadorrhynchidae, Polynoidae, Pontodoridae, Nephtyidae, Sphaerodoridae, Syllidae, Tomopteridae, Typhloscolecidae, and Yndolaciidae. The highest species richness is concentrated in European, North American, and Australian continental shelves (reflecting a strong sampling bias). While most data come from shallow coastal and surface environments most world oceans are clearly under-studied. The overall trends indicate that new descriptions are constantly added through time and that less than 10% of the known species have molecular barcode information available.

“…More than 90 species occur in Pacific waters (Hartman 1938, 1950, Hilbig 1997, Murray et al 2015). The first species of this family known from the Sea of Okhotsk was Nephtys ciliata (O.F.…”

Currently, 15 species of Nephtyidae (Annelida) are known from the Sea of Okhotsk (north-western Pacific). A new user-friendly identification key is presented with a brief description for each species. The taxonomic positions of three closely related species, Nephtys brachycephala Moore, 1903, N. schmitti Hartman, 1938 and N. paradoxa Malm, 1874, are revised. The distributions of two species, Nephtys discors Ehlers, 1968 and N. assignis Hartman, 1950, are discussed.
