“…is unusual in that the dorsal tentacles emerge from setiger 3, carried posteriorly by the dorsal crest over the dorsum of anterior setigers. This arrangement is similar to that of C. cabbsi Pocklington & Coates, 2010 in which the dorsal crest extends to setiger 2. The two species differ in that C. cabbsi has four peristomial annulations while C. microbidentata n. sp.…”

Fifteen species in seven genera of Cirratulidae are reported from shallow-water collections in the Caribbean Sea primarily as part of the Caribbean I expedition of the research vessel Alpha Helix in 1977 and smaller separate collections from Panama and Venezuela. Thirteen species, all bitentaculates, are new to science. New species include Aphelochaeta caribbeanensis n. sp.; six species of Caulleriella: C. angusticrista n. sp., C. convexacapa n. sp., C. microbidentata n. sp., C. parapicula n. sp., C. parvinasa n. sp., and C. quadrata n. sp.; Chaetozone dossena n. sp.; three species of Kirkegaardia: K. filiformis n. sp., K. panamaensis n. sp., and K. playita n. sp.; and two species of Dodecaceria: D. alphahelixae n. sp. and D. dibranchiata n. sp. Additionally, two multitentaculate cirratulids, Cirriformia sp. from Panama and Timarete punctata (Grube, 1859) from Nicaragua are reported.

“…nov. has a dorsal crest, and this character is reported from a number of species. For instance, it is present in Caulleriella cabbsi Pocklington and Coates, 2010, Caulleriella bremecae Elias and Rivero, 2008, Caulleriella murilloi Dean and Blake, 2007and Caulleriella venefica Doner and Blake, 2006. A comprehensive table of all presently known species of Caulleriella from the Atlantic and the Mediterranean Sea has been assembled in order for readers to understand and use the characters to identify species and species groups (Table I).…”

Caulleriella mediterranea, a new species of polychaete (Annelida: Cirratulidae) from the central Mediterranean Sea

A new species belonging to the genus Caulleriella Chamberlin, 1919 (Polychaeta: Cirratulidae) is described from coastal soft bottom sediments off the northwest Italy coast in fine sand at around 8 m depth. Caulleriella mediterranea sp. nov. is characterized by a slightly biannulate elongate peristomium, bidentate hooks with main fang slightly curved, a long apical tooth, and a narrow wing on the convex side and absence of capillary chaetae in neuropodia. A comparison is made with specimens that fit with the congeneric species C. alata, probably confused in the past with C. mediterranea sp. nov. Morphological characters important for differentiation of these species are discussed. The description of C. mediterranea sp. nov. testifies to an increasing trend of knowledge on cirratulid diversity in the Mediterranean Sea, a family characterized by many species considered early indicators of organic enrichment http://www.zoobank.org/?lsid=urn:lsid:zoobank.org:act:227C3794-DD91-4747-900F-9308E59C0D33 http://www.zoobank.org/?lsid=urn:lsid:zoobank.org:pub:0F35B814-A61D-4705-AEE0-E5A5D8C69B0C

“…Arana and Diaz (2006) reported 35 species of polychaetes associated with Thalassia testudinum in the northern coastal waters of Venezuela. Pocklington and Coates (2010) reported 3 new species of polychaetes in a seagrass bed dominated by Syringodium filiforme from Bermuda. More studies on polychaete fauna of seagrass beds, especially studies based on taxonomy, need to be performed in the soil habitat of the seagrass ecosystem in various localities of India, to give a complete picture of the distribution and abundance of polychaetes.…”

New polychaete records from seagrass beds at Minicoy Island, Lakshadweep, India

2011

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

− Species composition, distribution and taxonomic description of polychaete fauna in the seagrass beds of the Minicoy lagoon, Lakshadweep, India were studied during 1999 -2001. In 4 stations, 27 species of polychaetes belonging to 14 genera were identified. Of these 27 species, 10 species of polychaetes, belonging to 8 genera under 6 families, comprise new distributional records from Minicoy Island, and the descriptions of these species are provided. Among these, Glycera lancadivae, G. tesselata, and Eurythoe matthaii are found to be the most dominant species.
