2D304A56FF99F56A37BAFCD6FE10FD9C.taxon	discussion	Remarks Members of Halosydna were described by Kinberg (1858) as having 18 – 21 pairs of elytra. However, all specimens examined in this study have 18 pairs, as defined by Hartman (1938). In addition, members of Halosydna species are recognized by eytral insertion: elytra of segments 27 and 28 are contiguous, also elytra of segments 30 and 31. Elytral arrangement is constant and important to confirm generic placement. Members of Halosydna have robust bodies, which neither autotomize nor lose elytra when collected or fixed. Members of all species consistently bear a small rounded lobe near the neuroacicular tip.	en	Salazar-Silva, Patricia (2013): Revision of Halosydna Kinberg, 1856 (Annelida: Polychaeta: Polynoidae) from the Tropical Eastern Pacific and Grand Caribbean with descriptions of new species.

2D304A56FF98F56937E5FDD9FCFEF977.taxon	discussion	Remarks Halosydna brevisetosa can be distinguished by having all elytra margins fringed, with minute conical, truncate microtubercles, and conical macrotubercles on first pair of elytra; neurochaetae mainly unidentate, with only a tiny subdistal tooth in some midbody neuroparapodia. The second syntype of SMNH 400 with a damaged prostomium, 3.7 cm long, 36 segments, 18 pairs of elytra. Pharynx everted, with nine pairs of papillae, two pairs of jaws with smooth margins. This specimen appears to correspond to Kinberg’s (1858) description. The sytypes LACM-AHF POLY 1583 and LACM-AHF POLY 1584 of Halosydna johnsoni (Darboux, 1899) agree with those of H. brevisetosa. However, the other syntypes clearly differ so that both species are herein considered as valid and H. johnsoni is redescribed below. Members of this species have been extensively recorded from the tropical eastern Pacific, as well as worldwide. Here, the distribution is limited to California, USA. All other records are considered questionable. This species was synonymized with Halosydna nebulosa Marenzeller, 1902, and so later recorded in Japon (Imajima and Gamó 1970). The type materials of both species were examined and they are different species. Halosydna nebulosa is redescribed below.	en	Salazar-Silva, Patricia (2013): Revision of Halosydna Kinberg, 1856 (Annelida: Polychaeta: Polynoidae) from the Tropical Eastern Pacific and Grand Caribbean with descriptions of new species.

2D304A56FF95F565378EFF14FCA6FCD1.taxon	discussion	Remarks The type material of Halosydna fuscomarmorata consists of two elytra and one midbody parapodium, dried, clearly belonging to the genus because of the shape of the neuropodium (prechaetal lobe with a small lateral lobe near the acicular tip), notochaetae and neurochaetae. Elytra without fringe of marginal papillae; with abundant microtubercles, sclerotized, rounded distally, scattered over the surface, some larger and more scattered. Notopodia shorter than neuropodia. Notochaetae shorter than neurochaetae, the smaller slightly curved with blunt tips, larger ones tapering to capillary tips. Neurochaetae thicker than notochaetae, with bidentate tips. Augener (1906) and Seidler (1924), described H. fuscomarmorata has having 18 pairs of elytra, with microtubercles along margins and some larger ones over the surface, as were illustrated by Augener (1906) and coincide with observations of available type material. Halosydna fuscomarmorata was recorded by Hartman (1939 a) from Independencia Bay, Perú; Port Utria, Colombia and from Piñas Bay, Panamá. However, the features of these specimens agree with those of Halosydna elegans Monro (1928: 567) not Kinberg (1858) from Limon Bay (Panamá) in having small, soft, vesicular tubercles in addition to sclerotized on the three first pairs of elytra and posterior elytra. The specimen from Independencia Bay, Perú (LACM-AHF POLY 2433), examined by Hartman (1939 a), agrees with type material of H. fuscomarmorata. The specimen LACM-AHF POLY 2433 lacks some posteriormost segments, but is in good condition. It is 1.6 cm long, 0.4 cm wide. Prostomiun bilobed; facial tubercle rounded, dark; two pairs of eyes; ceratophore of median antenna inserted frontally, style subdistally expanded and tip filiform; ceratophores of lateral antennae thinner, inserted terminally as prolongations of prostomium lobes. Palps robust abruptly tapering to small tips; segment two does not project over prostomium; tentaculophores with chaetae. The elytra are greyish (Figure 2 A), fleshy, with smooth surfaces, without fringe of marginal papillae. The first pair of elytra are circular (Figure 2 B), with abundant sclerotized microtubercles, conical, scattered on the surface, the largest over the elytrophore scar (Figure 2 C) and the smaller around the margin (Figure 2 D, E). Second pair of elytra and posterior elytra oval (Figure 2 F), with papillate surfaces and microtubercles short, sclerotized, conical-truncated, abundant around margins (Figure 2 G, H). Parapodia biramous. Notopodia shorter than neuropodia (Figure 3 A). Neuropodia distally truncated, prechaetal lobe with small rounded lobe over acicular tip. Notochaetae shorter than neurochaetae, not reaching distal neuropodial margin, the smaller curved and blunt tips, remaining slender tapering to capillary tips. Neurochaetae with rows of spines on upper region, bidentate tips (Figure 3 B, C). The record of H. fuscomarmorata from Bahía Magdalena and Cabo San Lucas, Baja California, Mexico, includes a short description which does not mention the elytral shape (Hartman, 1939 b: 4) so that the presence of this species in Baja California is uncertain.	en	Salazar-Silva, Patricia (2013): Revision of Halosydna Kinberg, 1856 (Annelida: Polychaeta: Polynoidae) from the Tropical Eastern Pacific and Grand Caribbean with descriptions of new species.

2D304A56FF97F56137BDFC87FCF2FE52.taxon	discussion	Remarks The paratype (LACM-AHF 14) is in two pieces, but agrees with the holotype. Halosydna glabra can be distinguished by the absence of fringe papillae on elytra, and the two kinds of sclerotized macrotubercles: conical, truncate, with wrinkled surfaces, and hemispherical, almost ovoid, and bidentate neurochaetae. Halosydna glabra was described from Concepción, Bay, Mexico, and recorded also in Panama (Hartman 1939 a). The features of Panama specimens from Station 444 – 35 do not agree with H. glabra, so its presence in Panama is doubtful. The specimens of Lepidonotus hupferi from Station 683 - 37 in Bahía Concepción (Hartman, 1939 a) agree with H. glabra.

2D304A56FF93F57E379EFE07FCDFFAE4.taxon	discussion	Remarks The holotype of Halosydna hartmanae may be a juvenile based on the low number of segments. However, the parapodia, chaetae and insertion of elytra correspond to Halosydna. The species was assigned to Malmgrenia and later referred to Halosydna (Hanley 1987). I agree with the aforementioned paper because the lateral antennae are inserted terminally (ventrally in Malmgrenia) and the elytra posterior to pair 12 alternate with one, instead of two dorsal cirri, and the segments 14 and 15 pairs do not alternate with one dorsal cirrus. However, neuropodia are truncate, without prechaetal and postchaetal lobes as in Malmgrenia. Halosydna hartmanae is distinguished by having elytra with smooth margins and smooth surfaces except for microtubercles forming a patch on the anterior half. The non-type material is a 4.5 cm long, 1.0 cm wide specimen, whose elytra from mid-body and posterior segments agree with the species description. Also, it has bidentate neurochaetae and the first and second pairs of elytra with conical, sclerotized microtubercles.	en	Salazar-Silva, Patricia (2013): Revision of Halosydna Kinberg, 1856 (Annelida: Polychaeta: Polynoidae) from the Tropical Eastern Pacific and Grand Caribbean with descriptions of new species.

2D304A56FF8CF57A37E6FAD1FCFFFD75.taxon	discussion	Remarks Polynoe reticulata Johnson, 1897, was a pre-occupied name, which was renamed to Lepidonotus johnsoni (Darboux, 1899), then to Polynoe californica (Johnson, 1901), and finally to Halosydna johnsoni (Hartman, 1939 a). Halosydna johnsoni has been confused and synonymized with H. brevisetosa. However, according to Johnson (1897), the latter has all elytra with a fringe of papillae on margins (absent in mid-body and posterior elytra in H. johnsoni), those of anterior segments with prominent tubercles (smooth with only microtubercles along the posterior margin except for the first pair, which has abundant conical macrotubercles, in H. johnsoni) and neurochaetae with entire tips (bidentate in H. johnsoni). Other syntypes of H. johnsoni also examined were LACM-AHF POLY 1583; LACM-AHF POLY 1584; LACM-AHF POLY 46; LACM-AHF POLY 1589; LACM- AHF POLY 1587; LACM-AHF POLY 1591; LACM-AHF POLY 1586; LACM-AHF POLY 1590; LACM-AHF POLY 1592. All of them have labels indicating that Johnson did not designate types. Hence, the syntypes represent his original material. However, some specimens do not agree with the description of H. johnsoni and are herein reassigned to other species.	en	Salazar-Silva, Patricia (2013): Revision of Halosydna Kinberg, 1856 (Annelida: Polychaeta: Polynoidae) from the Tropical Eastern Pacific and Grand Caribbean with descriptions of new species.

2D304A56FF88F57737EFFD61FDB1FB93.taxon	discussion	Remarks The other specimens of H. latior measure from 7.9 cm long and 1.6 cm wide to 1.8 cm long and 0.8 cm wide. However, all coincide with regard to elytra, parapodia and chaetae. The holotype lacks the anterior elytra, which are present in non-type specimens, where the first three pairs show a fringe of marginal papillae (Figure 10 C), granular surfaces with abundant microtubercles, macrotubercles over the elytrophore scar. The features of the remaining elytra agree with those of the holotype (Figure 10 D – G). Although the paratype of H. obtusa-cirrata Treadwell, 1937, is dried, it is possible to distinguish the fringe and microtubercles on all elytra (Figure 10 C – E) and the macrotubercles on median elytra, like those present in H. latior (Figure 10 E – G) Hence H. obtusa-cirrata is considered a synonym of H. latior. Halosydna latior was described from Laguna Beach, California, and the records of Hartman (1939 a) and the paratype of H. obtusa-cirrata are from Baja California, Mexico. Rioja (1963) recorded the species from Topolobampo, Mexico. Skobsberg (1942) reported H. brevisetosa from Monterey and Carmel Bays, but the features described agree with H. latior.	en	Salazar-Silva, Patricia (2013): Revision of Halosydna Kinberg, 1856 (Annelida: Polychaeta: Polynoidae) from the Tropical Eastern Pacific and Grand Caribbean with descriptions of new species.

2D304A56FF81F54F379CFB28FD85FDA2.taxon	discussion	Remarks Halosydna leucohyba (Schmarda, 1861) is widely recorded from the Grand Caribbean. Although Schmarda’s (1861) original description is brief, the features of the present specimens agree with later characterizations (e. g. Webster 1884; Hartman 1944). The morphology of elytra and neurochaetae are consistent in specimens of different size. The chaetae on the tentaculophores are very slender, few in number but present (although might be broken). The type material was not available in the Zoologisches Institut and Museum Hamburg.	en	Salazar-Silva, Patricia (2013): Revision of Halosydna Kinberg, 1856 (Annelida: Polychaeta: Polynoidae) from the Tropical Eastern Pacific and Grand Caribbean with descriptions of new species.

2D304A56FFBDF54C37B0FD16FE26FD62.taxon	discussion	Remarks Halosydna nebulosa was redescribed by Marenzeller (1879, 1902). The syntype herein examined is from Chefoo (now Yantai city), China, This species has not been recorded in the Grand Caribbean or the tropical eastern Pacific, but is included to clarify their identity because this species is not considered valid and has been listed as a synonym of H. brevisetosa for Imajima and Gamó (1970). However, the latter has prominent macrotubercles on the anterior elytra, principally over the elytrophore mark, and microtubercles mainly around the margin, while the former has abundant macrotubercles and microtubercles scattered over all the elytral surface. Therefore, both species are herein redescribed separately, and the respective distributions are clarified.	en	Salazar-Silva, Patricia (2013): Revision of Halosydna Kinberg, 1856 (Annelida: Polychaeta: Polynoidae) from the Tropical Eastern Pacific and Grand Caribbean with descriptions of new species.

2D304A56FFBEF54A37D1FD56FD61FCD2.taxon	discussion	Remarks Although the holotype is dried, the parapodia, neurochaetae, number of elytra and segments agree with those of Halosydna as stated by Salazar-Silva (2006). Halosydna nesiotes is distinguished by having elytra without marginal papillae, but with microtubercles conical-truncate (abundant and short on posterior half) and longer hemispherical tubercles in some elytra. Chamberlin (1919 b) decribed the species as having a “ shrunken ” prostomium (but prostomial appendages were not described), 34 segments and 15 pairs of elytra. However, it was described as having “ granular appearance due to the presence of papillae and tubercles subconical, all of the same type excepting for variation in size, those toward the periphery of the papillose area becoming smaller ”. The second pair were described as similar to the first, and those of median and posterior segments as almost smooth, with minute microtubercles. The elytra margins were not described, but were illustrated as smooth, which agrees with present observations.	en	Salazar-Silva, Patricia (2013): Revision of Halosydna Kinberg, 1856 (Annelida: Polychaeta: Polynoidae) from the Tropical Eastern Pacific and Grand Caribbean with descriptions of new species.

2D304A56FFB8F54737FBFC87FE1CFAF4.taxon	discussion	Remarks The type material is labelled as holotype, but the species was originally described from several specimens. This specimen should be considered a syntype. However, it was redescribed by Hartman (1949) so herein it is being designated as Lectotype. The species was reported from Bahía Santa Rosalia, Baja California Sur, Mexico (Hartman 1939 a). However, Salazar-Silva (2006) examined the specimen and corresponds to H. leius. Hence, H. parva does not occur in the Mexican Pacific. The non-type material ranged from 1.2 cm long and 0.3 cm wide, to 3.1 cm long and 0.55 cm wide, and shows a short rounded lobe projecting over the prostomium on segment 2, eyes round dark, antennae similar in shape to tentacular cirri and papillate palps. The type material of Halosydna virgini Kinberg, 1856, has been re-examined. Contrary to Hartman (1949), the species is considered as valid and so it is redescribed below.	en	Salazar-Silva, Patricia (2013): Revision of Halosydna Kinberg, 1856 (Annelida: Polychaeta: Polynoidae) from the Tropical Eastern Pacific and Grand Caribbean with descriptions of new species.

2D304A56FFB6F54037CEFAD8FC12FD18.taxon	discussion	Remarks The specimen LACM-AHF POLY 2435 [reported by Hartman (1939 a) as Halosydna species B] is in poor condition and incomplete, with 32 segments, 0.45 cm wide and 1.6 cm long. However, it agrees with the specimen herein described, as well as with the features described by Chamberlin (1919 a) for the specimens found in Laguna Beach, California. The species was not illustrated by Chamberlin but the original description refers to the presence of abundant conical tubercles on elytra, especially larger in the first three chaetigers, which agrees with material examined in this study. The specimens reported by Rioja (1963) from Isla Cedros also agree with the original description. The type material was not examined because it cannot be found in the MCZ. New records of H. tuberculifer are included herein for Baja California, Mexico. The larger specimen being 2.3 cm long and 0.4 cm wide. All specimens show brownish spots on elytra, abundant blunt microtubercles, and some macrotubercles. Halosydna tuberculifer resembles H. brevisetosa in having unidentate neurochaetae and elytra with prominent macrotubercles, but the latter has median and posteriormost elytra only with microtubercles.	en	Salazar-Silva, Patricia (2013): Revision of Halosydna Kinberg, 1856 (Annelida: Polychaeta: Polynoidae) from the Tropical Eastern Pacific and Grand Caribbean with descriptions of new species.

2D304A56FFB2F55E37F9FD5DFE26FEB4.taxon	discussion	Remarks The species, known from Hawaii, was originally described as having 35 segments, 18 pairs of elytra and bidentate neurochaetae. However, it was synonymized with Halosydna parva from Peru (Hartman 1949). Despite the present condition of the holotype, its features are clear: elytra margins with long papillae thicker than in H. parva and elytra lack the thick macrotubercles present in this species. Therefore, it must be considered a valid species.	en	Salazar-Silva, Patricia (2013): Revision of Halosydna Kinberg, 1856 (Annelida: Polychaeta: Polynoidae) from the Tropical Eastern Pacific and Grand Caribbean with descriptions of new species.

2D304A56FFA4F52E37FAFA09FBE4FBEE.taxon	discussion	Remarks Most specimens of Halosydna riojaenriquei sp. nov. have olive-green elytra, but some have the pigment concentrated medially or covering the entire surface. Other specimens have yellow-brown pigment and all elytrophore scars are unpigmented. The prostomium can be unpigmented or with small black spots. The features of the paratypes (Figure 31 A – D) are consistent with those of the holotype, the largest specimen is 2 cm long. Halosydna riojaenriquei sp. nov. resembles H. hartmanae (Kudenov, 1975) from Sonora, in lacking marginal papillae, but the former has anteriormost elytra with abundant microtubercles scattered over the entire surface and median and posterior elytra with microtubercles around posterior borders, while H. hartmanae has median and posterior elytra with microtubercles forming patchs on the anterior half.	en	Salazar-Silva, Patricia (2013): Revision of Halosydna Kinberg, 1856 (Annelida: Polychaeta: Polynoidae) from the Tropical Eastern Pacific and Grand Caribbean with descriptions of new species.

Halosydna leucohyba is the only species occurring in the Grand Caribbean region but has also been reported for the Mexican Caribbean. The genus is clearly more diverse in the tropical eastern Pacific than in the Grand Caribbean. This pattern of diversity might be caused by a higher diversity of habitats in the tropical eastern Pacific, as reported for other groups (Muss et al. 2001). However, both regions require more taxonomic studies to increase records of Halosydna species in less-studied localities. Halosydna species are geographically distributed both in cold and warm waters. The species of the tropical eastern Pacific and Grand Caribbean species have neurochaetae with bidentate tips, and those of north and south Pacific coasts have neurochaetae with entire tips. This pattern might be related to the predominant modes of life as epibionts in the former and commensals in the latter. Martin and Britayev (1998) noted that members of commensal species tend to have less elaborate chaetae.	en	Salazar-Silva, Patricia (2013): Revision of Halosydna Kinberg, 1856 (Annelida: Polychaeta: Polynoidae) from the Tropical Eastern Pacific and Grand Caribbean with descriptions of new species.
