D96F87C7C72D7757FF273125FBE187ED.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. Ceratonereis species with two brown bands dorsally across chaetigers 2 and 3 (Fig. 1 A); dorsal cirri increasing in relative length greatly over first 20 chaetigers or so, to become about 2 x width of body (without parapodia) by mid-body; neuropodial postchaetal lobe rounded in anterior parapodia.	en	Glasby, Christopher J.

D96F87C7C72D7757FF273125FBE187ED.taxon	discussion	Remarks. In accordance with the species concept used in this study, and following Wilson et al. (2003), Ceratonereis singularis australis is elevated to species level. The specimens examined agree well with Hartmann- Schröder’s (1985) description of this subspecies, especially in the characteristic pigmentation pattern, paragnath count and parapodial morphology. The specimens are similar to C. tentaculata. Both species belong to the C. mirabilis group as recognised by Perkins (1980 )), which has very long tentacular and dorsal cirri and Area III with fewer paragnaths (7) than Area IV, and the dorsal notopodial ligule similar in size to the ventral neuropodial ligule in the anterior parapodia. Habitat. Lagoon, fore-reef and reef slope, 15 – 20 m.	en	Glasby, Christopher J. (2015): Nereididae (Annelida: Phyllodocida) of Lizard Island, Great Barrier Reef, Australia.

D96F87C7C72D7756FF2736ADFB4E83AD.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. Ceratonereis species having rod-like paragnaths arranged in eight groups in maxillary ring (Areas I: 6 in single cluster; II: 6 – 8 in single cluster on each side; III: 5 in each of 3 clusters; IV: 3 in single cluster on each side (but some paragnaths apparently missing as a result of damage); oval-shaped yellow glands at base of dorsal cirri chaetigers.	en	Glasby, Christopher J.

D96F87C7C72D7756FF2736ADFB4E83AD.taxon	discussion	Remarks. The present specimen, which is epitokous, corresponds with the description of Imajima (1972), particularly in the arrangement of paragnaths in eight groups in the maxillary ring, which sets it apart from other Ceratonereis and allies it more with Solomononereis. Indeed this species shows intermediate characteristics between Ceratonereis and Solomononereis: like members of Ceratonereis it is large-bodied, has a deeply-cleft anterior prostomium and large postchaetal neuropodial lobes, but like the latter it has rod-like paragnaths (Imajima refers to them as cones, but his illustrations are indicative of rods) and oval-shaped yellow glands at the base of dorsal cirri chaetigers. Because of these similarities Nateewathana (1992) suggested that the original material of Ceratonereis japonica Imajima, 1972 should be re-examined to determine whether it should be included in Solomononereis. As the two genera were shown by Bakken & Wilson (2005) to be sister groups, then a more inclusive systematic study is required to investigate the taxonomic position of species. Habitat. Halimeda and coral rubble between bommies, 12 m.	en	Glasby, Christopher J. (2015): Nereididae (Annelida: Phyllodocida) of Lizard Island, Great Barrier Reef, Australia.

D96F87C7C7287752FF273149FBCF84B3.taxon	discussion	Remarks. This species was reported from Lizard Island as Leonnates jousseaumi by Hutchings & Reid (1991). The present specimens fit well the description of León-González & Salazar-Vallejo (2003), apart from the slightly lower paragnath counts, which may be attributable to the smaller body size of the present material. As remarked upon by these authors L. crosnieri is very similar to L. indicus Kinberg, 1865, and apparently differs only by the presence of the notopodial prechaetal lobe (= superior notopodial lobe of these authors) in parapodia of the posterior body; this lobe has disappeared by chaetiger 51 in the holotype of L. indicus and was absent from far posterior segments in most of the other material examined according to the redescription of Qiu & Qian (2000: 1138). The other supposed differences cited by León-González & Salazar-Vallejo (2003) including number of papillae in Area VI and distribution along body of notopodial homogomph falcigers are not applicable and appear to have resulted from these authors not considering the full range of variation reported by Qiu & Qian (2000) for L. indicus. Leonnates crosnieri was not collected in the August 2013 survey. Habitat. Lagoon, fore-reef and reef slope, 4 – 30 m.	en	Glasby, Christopher J.

D96F87C7C728775DFF27359BFBC880F8.taxon	discussion	Remarks. This rarely collected species fits well the description of Imajima (1972), particularly in the key differences that distinguish it from the closely similar L. indicus and L. crosnieri; that is, the absence of notopodial homogomph falcigers, and the uniform dark brown antero-dorsal pigmentation pattern. As we currently lack a good understanding of morphological variability in the species, it is not possible to know whether the higher papillae count in Area VI of the present specimens compared to Imajima’s (15 or 16 vs 4 or 5) represents intraspecific variation or perhaps indicates that the Lizard Island form is new.

D96F87C7C725775FFF273055FD1D878D.taxon	discussion	Remarks. This species was first reported from Lizard Island by Glasby (1999), who described it as a species group because of the large intraspecific variation; component species within the group were not named. A subsequent combined molecular / morphometric study of this species group in India showed the existence of multiple cryptic species within a region (Magesh et al. 2014). The specimens found at Lizard Island are therefore almost certainly different from the type specimens from Santa Catarina Island, Brazil; however, they are not described as a new species until further material is collected including specimens for molecular studies.

D96F87C7C7247759FF2736FDFC75833D.taxon	discussion	Remarks. Neanthes cricognatha belongs to the N. acuminata species group, a world-wide distributed complex of similar species including the nominal species N. acuminata (Ehlers, 1868), N. caudata (delle Chiaje) and N. arenaceodentata Moore (Reish et al. 2014). Although the name N. cricognatha has been synonymised with both of the latter names previously, I follow Wilson (1984) in maintaining the name N. cricognatha for the Australian and New Zealand forms, particularly as recent molecular studies have suggested that the species group contains multiple evolutionary significant units (Reish et al. 2014). Specimen AM W. 43469 was collected in the water column of the lagoon. It was not epitokous, but the welldeveloped parapodia and small, fragile body of this species suggest that it may be well equipped for swimming. Habitat. Lagoon and fore reef, sand and Pessonalia algae, 2 – 10 m;? pelagic.	en	Glasby, Christopher J. (2015): Nereididae (Annelida: Phyllodocida) of Lizard Island, Great Barrier Reef, Australia.

D96F87C7C7237758FF27321DFD1A80D5.taxon	discussion	Remarks. The specimens examined here are similar to Neanthes gisserana and apparently identical with specimens from Ambon described by Pamungkas & Glasby (2015). The present material was compared to the epitokous syntype specimens, and agrees closely at least in terms of features not altered by the epitoky. Thus paragnath numbers and pattern correspond closely, especially the presence of bars adjacent the jaws in Areas IV, which Monro (1939) referred to as the ‘ most remarkable character of the species’. Here the species is given a cf. designation because it departs from the type most notably in the paragnath arrangement in Area III, which is 3 – 4 rows of 16 – 26 paragnaths across three groups in N. gisserana. It may represent a new species. Unfortunately, photographs of specimen AM W. 43844 (field no. 2342) have been misplaced, so an image record of this common species is lacking. Comparative specimens from Ambon, Indonesia (NTM W 23797, W 23804) have a transverse brown bar on the dorsal surface of chaetiger 4, and other irregular brown mottling on the anterior end. Horst (1924) noted a red-brown buccal segment, blackish pigment on the prostomium and narrow transverse blackish stripes on the anterior part of each segment. Habitat. Lagoon, fore-reef and reef slope, 1 – 30 m.	en	Glasby, Christopher J. (2015): Nereididae (Annelida: Phyllodocida) of Lizard Island, Great Barrier Reef, Australia.

D96F87C7C721775BFF273191FE13848D.taxon	discussion	Remarks. This species belongs to a group of Nereis having few paragnaths in Area VII – VIII arranged in one line, and the dorsal notopodial ligule smaller than the ventral notopodial ligule anteriorly, and the dorsal notopodial ligule very reduced posteriorly (note that the size of the dorsal notopodial ligule is size dependent in nereidids, and therefore a difficult character to use to discriminate species – see also account of N. lizardensis). Other species in this group are Nereis heirssonensis, N. cirriseta and N. bifida. Nereis coutieri differs from these other species in having smooth-bladed, distally-pointed notopodial homogomph falcigers. Possibly the material from Lizard Island represents a new species as it shows some differences from the type description of N. coutieri, including body pigmentation (a broad brown cross on the dorsal surface of chaetiger 2 in the latter, but overall red-brown colour and white spots dorsally in the former), and the dorsal notopodial ligule is about the same size as the ventral notopodial ligule in the type description but about 1 / 2 size of the ventral notopodial ligule in the present material. Habitat. Fore-reef and reef slope.	en	Glasby, Christopher J. (2015): Nereididae (Annelida: Phyllodocida) of Lizard Island, Great Barrier Reef, Australia.

D96F87C7C7217745FF27344DFD0D8408.taxon	discussion	Remarks. Specimens from the NTM, collected on the CReefs trips, were previously identified as N. heirissonensis Augener, 1913; a review of these specimens shows that they are all small forms of N. lizardensis that have reduced numbers of paragnaths, especially in Areas III (1 – 3) and VI (0 – 3). Although the paragnath count in Areas III and IV would currently place them in N. heirissonensis, it appears that paragnath numbers are size related (as they were found to be for N. denhamensis by Hutchings & Turvey (1982 )), and therefore that they are likely to be small forms of N. lizardensis. Unfortunately tissue samples do not exist for the specimens previously identified as N. heirissonensis so a DNA comparison must wait for further collecting.	en	Glasby, Christopher J.

D96F87C7C73F7744FF2735C9FD878770.taxon	discussion	Remarks. The specimens examined here fit the concept of N. trifasciata used by other polychaete taxonomists working in the Indo-west Pacific, for example Fauvel (1953) and Wu et al. (1985); however, the pigmentation pattern of the Lizard Island specimens differ from that of the type which has three pronounced brown transverse bands on segments 2 – 4 (hence the specific name). Further, Grube (1878) did not mention the presence of notopodial falcigers, so the current generic assignment of his species is uncertain. The singly occurring notopodial homogomph falcigers in posterior parapodia of the present specimens appear to represent a replacement of one of the spinigers, rather than a de novo chaeta. It is an atypical feature for a Nereis species and in many respects this species has more in common with a Neanthes than a Nereis. The specimens examined may represent a new species. Nereis cf. trifasciata from Lizard Island is very similar to Neanthes unifasciata especially in terms of the general body pigmentation and paragnath pattern (Figs 4 A, B). The only apparent difference between the two species is that N. unifasciata lacks completely notopodial homogomph falcigers. Willey (1905: 271) also remarked on the similarity of the armature between the two species. Habitat. Fore-reef and back-reef, lagoon, 1 – 3 m.	en	Glasby, Christopher J.
