“…The eggs are pinkish. N. punctata is a frequently recorded hesionid which lives at shallow to moderate depths along the European coast from the Arctic to the Mediterranean (HARTMANN-SCHRODER 1971;OUG 1980). It has also been reported from the Bering Sea and Hudson Bay and from ·the western Atlantic from Newfoundland to North Carolina (PETTIBONE 1963).…”

“…It constructs a burrow system where it waits for passing prey, but also makes excursions to the sediment surface. The long cirri are spread out from the burrow opening, and prey location seems to be mainly dependent on tactile stimuli (OUG 1980). Because of the colour difference, both sexes of the two Nereimyra types are easy to keep apart, in living as well as preserved material, and in our studies they have been treated separately.…”

“…Nereimyra punctata is slender and 15 to 25 mm long (OUG 1980). The longest individuals have up to 50 segments and are up to 4 mm wide including setae (PETTIBONE 1963).…”

“…Hesionids currently include about 170 recognized species, referred to about 28 genera (Pleijel 1998; Rouse & Pleijel 2001; Uchida 2004; Pleijel & Rouse 2005b). They are, from the few cases known, predators on small invertebrates (Shaffer 1979; Oug 1980; pers. obs.…”

from morphology, 18S rDNA, 28S rDNA, 16S rDNA and COI. -Zoologica Scripta, 36, 99-107. We assess phylogenetic relationships within the polychaete family Hesionidae from morphological data combined with nucleotide data from 18S rDNA, 28S rDNA, 16S rDNA and COI. Parsimony and Bayesian analyses were performed on two data sets; the first was based on a more restricted set of terminals with both morphological and molecular data (17 ingroup terminals), while the second included additional taxa with morphological data only (25 ingroup terminals). The different sets of terminals yielded fully congruent results, as did the parsimony and the Bayesian analyses. Our results indicate high levels of homoplasy in traditionally used morphological characters in the group, and that Hesioninae, Gyptini and Gyptis are nonmonophyletic. Hesionini (mainly Hesione and Leocrates ), Psamathini (mainly Hesiospina , Micropodarke , Nereimyra , Psamathe and Syllidia ), Ophiodrominae (Gyptini and Ophiodromini) and Ophiodromini (mainly Heteropodarke , Ophiodromus and Podarkeopsis ) are monophyletic and agree with previous classifications, and Hesionini is probably the sister to all other hesionids. The placements of the small hesionids capricornia and Lizardia , the hydrothermal vent taxa Hesiodeira and Hesiolyra , and the newly described Hesiobranchia , remain uncertain.

“…We here evaluate the hypothesis that the sympatric pigmented and unpigmented forms have genetic exchange and therefore should be referred to the same species. Adult N. punctata are not very mobile and, we assume, are not likely to migrate larger distances (see also Oug 1980). The larvae of both forms, however, have planktotrophic development (Schram and Haaland 1984) with a potential for genetic exchange between shallow and deep‐water populations from nearby localities.…”

We present a COI-based parsimony analysis of the relationships between the shallow water, pigmented hesionid polychaete Nereimyra punctata, and a deep-water, unpigmented form with sympatric distribution in Norway and Sweden. Apart from the pigmentation differences, the two forms exhibit no observed morphological differences. The terminals are represented by four specimens each of the two forms from the Trondheimsfjord in Norway, and four each of the two forms from northern Bohusla¨n in Sweden, plus members of the two hesionids Heteropodarke and Ophiodromus as outgroups. In addition, the analysis includes a topotype of the morphologically similar and unpigmented Nereimyra woodsholea from the Middle Atlantic Bight off the US east coast. The equally weighted matrix includes 132 informative characters. All most-parsimonious trees unequivocally indicate that specimens belonging to the same form (pigmented or unpigmented) from different areas are cladistically closer related to each other than different forms from the same areas. Nereimyra woodsholea is nested within the unpigmented deeper group of the Norwegian and Swedish specimens, thus indicating that this name should be applied to the deep-water form in Norway and Sweden.
