Nooralia bulgannabooyanga San Martín, 2002.</p><p>Diagnosis. Body small, short, with about 30 chaetigers. Surface of body smooth. Prostomium with 4 eyes and 3 antennae. Palps fused at bases. Two pairs of tentacular cirri. Antennae, tentacular cirri and dorsal cirri of chaetiger 1 long, cylindrical to spindle-shaped; remaining dorsal cirri short, lanceolate. Parapodia with dorsal simple capillary chaetae and compound chaetae with unidentate and bidentate short blades. Ventral simple chaetae apparently absent. Pharynx long, unarmed, with a crown of soft papillae on anterior rim. Proventricle small, difficult to see. Pygidium with 2 large anal cirri. Females brooding eggs dorsally, by means of compound notochaetae.</p><p>Remarks. The relationship of Nooralia to other members of the group is difficult to elucidate, because the genus displays features that differentiate it from all other Exogoninae genera, such as an indistinct proventricle and absence of a pharyngeal tooth. Characters such as the shape of the dorsal cirri, smooth dorsal surface and dorsal brooding of egg, as well as the shape of the aciculae of the single known species, suggest that it may be related to the genus Salvatoria. However, Salvatoria has palps fused by means of a dorsal membrane and a distinctly massive proventricle, which is long and large, and has a pharyngeal tooth. Furthermore, the compound chaetae of Nooralia are different to those of all other species of the genera included in the Exogoninae. The genus appears to have an isolated position in the Syllidae.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/1C7B8784FFEFB0761349B2807025FB4D	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Body small, short, holotype 2.4 mm long, 0.3 mm wide, 31 chaetigers. Prostomium quadrangular to trapezoidal; 4 eyes in trapezoidal arrangement, apparently without anterior eyespots (Fig. 1A,B). Antennae missing on holotype and one paratype; another paratype with lateral antennae but median antenna missing; lateral antennae inserted just in front of anterior eyes, cylindrical, slightly rugose, longer than combined length of prostomium and palps (Fig. 1B); median antenna inserted at same level than lateral antennae, about twice as long. Palps fused at bases (Fig. 1A,B), usually ventrally folded (Fig. 2A). Dorsal tentacular cirri long and thick, laterally directed, similar to lateral antennae but longer, distinctly longer than body width (Fig. 1A,B); ventral tentacular cirri slightly shorter than half length of dorsal tentacular cirri, oblique to laterally directed (Fig. 1A,B). Dorsal cirri of chaetiger 1 long, anteriorly directed, similar to dorsal tentacular cirri. Dorsal cirri present on all parapodia; dorsal cirri of chaetiger 2 much shorter than those of chaetiger 1, similar in length to ventral tentacular cirri, but distinctly longer than remaining dorsal cirri (Fig. 1A,B); dorsal cirri of midbody lanceolate, shorter than half body width, longer than parapodial lobes, slight variation in length (Fig. 1C). Last 2–3 segments with small dorsal cirri but lacking parapodia and chaetae (Fig. 1D). Ventral cirri large, ovate, slightly laminar (Fig. 2A). Parapodial lobes conical, distally bilobed and provided with posterior papilla (Fig. 2A). Parapodia of chaetiger 1 with 1 compound bidentate chaeta, the dorsalmost one, and 6 compound chaetae with unidentate, smooth, curved blades (Fig. 2B); progressively increasing numbers of compound chaetae with bidentate blades, chaetae with only bidentate blades from chaetiger 3–4. Midbody parapodia each with about 8–9 compound chaetae, strongly heterogomph, with spinose to rough shafts, and short, bidentate blades with short, fine marginal spines, inverse dorsoventral gradation in length, about 7–8 µm dorsally, 10 µm ventrally (Figs. 2D, 3E,F); posterior parapodia each with 9 compound chaetae, similar to those of midbody, with greater differences between dorsal and ventral blades (Fig. 2F). Dorsal simple chaetae from chaetiger 1, thin, distally with short, fine marginal spines, similar throughout (Fig. 2C,E). Ventral simple chaetae absent. Acicula solitary, slender, distally rounded, with a short, rounded tip (Fig. 2G). Pharynx long, slender, indistinct, everted or partially everted on all specimens, without pharyngeal tooth, a dark glandular area near proventricle (Fig. 1A,B), a crown of 10 soft papillae on anterior rim and few other, small and rounded, near distal crown. Proventricle small, minute, difficult to see, through 1–2 segments (Fig. 1A,B). Pygidium semicircular, with 2 long, wide, anal cirri (bifid on 1 paratype) (Fig. 1D). Females carrying eggs dorsally (Fig. 3A) by means of compound notochaetae (Fig. 3B–D).</p><p>Remarks. This genus and species is unique in the family Syllidae, in having the combination of a minute proventricle, unarmed pharynx, palps separated except basally, antennae, tentacular cirri and dorsal cirri of chaetiger 1 long, distally tapered, and remaining dorsal cirri short, spindle-shaped to oval, and, especially, because mature females brooding by means of compound notochaetae. Strictly, this taxon does not belong to any of the known subfamilies of the Syllidae; Nooralia, however, is placed provisionally in the Exogoninae because of its small, short body, presence of ventral cirri, short dorsal cirri on midbody, and brooding of eggs.</p><p>Distribution. Australia (New South Wales, Western Australia).</p><p>Habitat. Amongst algae, bryozoans and hydrozoans; 3.5– 15 m depth.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/1C7B8784FFEEB078111FB0F277A5FB51	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Not Quatrefages 1866.</p><p>Type species. Salvatoria kerguelensis McIntosh, 1885 by original designation.</p><p>Diagnosis. Body small with few segments, around 30, surface smooth, usually without colour markings, but some species with red transverse bands on some segments. Prostomium with 3 antennae, 4 eyes and, usually, 2 eyespots. Palps well developed, joined along their length by dorsal membrane, more or less distinct, sometimes with distal, usually short notch. Two pairs of tentacular cirri. Antennae, tentacular cirri and dorsal cirri usually spindle-shaped, proportionally long and slender in comparison with those present in other genera of the subfamily, usually slightly bulbous at their base and ending with an elongate, acute tip; dorsal cirri present on all segments or absent on chaetiger 2. Parapodia conical, typically ending in 3 rounded, small papillae. Ventral cirri digitiform, shorter than parapodial lobes. Parapodial glands absent. Compound chaetae heterogomph, with blades bidentate, sometimes subdistal tooth small, appearing as unidentate; some parapodia with dorsal and ventral simple capillary chaetae. Acicula usually solitary, acuminate, with long and filiform tip; in some species without tip, appearing distally rounded. Pharynx wide, usually without papillae around the opening, although some larger species have crown of small papillae; usually band of cilia at opening of pharynx; pharyngeal tooth typically rhomboidal to ovate, located anywhere from near anterior margin to about the middle of pharynx. Proventricle proportionally long and wide, massive, sometimes longer than pharynx but usually of the same length, with numerous, slender muscular rows. Pygidium with two anal cirri, similar to dorsal cirri. Reproduction by epigamy, females brooding eggs by means of capillary notochaetae; mature males provided with long natatory notochaetae.</p><p>Remarks. The systematic position of this genus has been controversial. McIntosh (1885) included his new genus Salvatoria in the family Hesionidae; his diagnosis was confused and incomplete; later, Monro (1939) re-examined the holotype and concluded that it belonged to the family Syllidae, considering it as a synonym of Syllides; this conclusion was followed by Hartman (1964). Previously, Ehlers (1897) described Sphaerosyllis macintoshi and considered Salvatoria kerguelensis as a synonym of that species; this opinion was accepted by Benham (1921). I have reexamined the holotype of Salvatoria kerguelensis and here come to a different conclusion.</p><p>First, the supposed articulations described by McIntosh on the antennae and anterior dorsal cirri are an artifact produced by small crystals of formalin; the pharyngeal tooth, although difficult to see, is present, but it is difficult to give its precise position; finally, the chaetae and aciculae are similar to those of other species described in the genus Grubeosyllis Verrill, 1900, but not those of Brania . Furthermore, McIntosh’s original drawing of the holotype (pl. XXX, fig. 4) shows the prostomium in ventral view and the body in dorsal view in a single drawing clearly encouraging misinterpretations of the description.</p><p>The original name for this group was Grubea; the taxon Grubeosyllis was erected by Verrill (1900) specifically as a replacement name for Grubea, a name preoccupied by a genus of trematodes (Platyhelminthes). Ignoring Verrill, Fauvel (1923) considered Brania as a junior synonym of Grubea . Hartman (1959) regarded Brania, Grubeosyllis, and Grubea as synonyms retaining the name Brania for the group. Later, San Martín (1984a) erected the genus Pseudobrania for this group of species, and designated Pseudobrania clavata as the type species. San Martín (1991a) on a further revision, resurrected Grubeosyllis and considered Pseudobrania San Martín, 1984 as a junior synonym. After examining the holotype of Salvatoria kerguelensis, it is apparent that this also belongs to the group, and Salvatoria McIntosh, 1885 is proposed as the valid name of this genus, having priority over Grubeosyllis Verrill, 1900 (and also over Pseudobrania San Martín, 1984). Another possible available name for the genus is Protogrubea Czerniavsky, 1881; the generic characters, however, are poorly known and the type material appears lost.</p><p>Recently, Kudenov &amp; Harris (1995) did not accept Brania and Grubeosyllis as different genera; all the species they describe in Brania belong to the re-erected genus Salvatoria . It appears that they misinterpreted some characters in their discussion. The reasons argued by San Martín (1984a, 1991a) for the separation of Brania and Salvatoria, are verified because Salvatoria broods dorsally by means of capillary notochaetae while Brania broods ventrally and develops juveniles attached to the female, which lacks notochaetae.</p><p>Key to species of Salvatoria recorded from Australia</p><p>1 Dorsal cirri present on chaetiger 2 ................................................................................................. 2</p><p>—— Dorsal cirri absent on chaetiger 2 .................................................................................................. 6</p><p>2 Blades of compound chaetae unidentate or provided with small, indistinct subdistal tooth ..........................................................................................

Compound chaetae similar throughout; anterior parapodia each with 8–9 compound chaetae, posterior parapodia each with 7; blades indistinctly bidentate, distally hooked, subdistal tooth small on longer blades (Fig. 5E), minute to absent on shorter blades, provided with short marginal spines (Fig. 5F), longer spines on longer blades (Figs. 4B,E, 5E,F), dorsoventral gradation in length of blades, about 11–12 µm above, 6–7 µm below in midbody. Dorsal simple chaetae from midbody, slender, indistinctly bidentate, with small subdistal tooth and short marginal spines (Fig. 4D). Ventral simple chaetae on far posterior chaetigers, sigmoid, indistinctly bidentate, margin smooth (Fig. 4F). Acicula solitary, slender, acuminate (Fig. 4C), slightly thicker posteriorly (Fig. 4G). Pharynx wide, without papillae, through about 4 segments; pharyngeal tooth rhomboidal, located slightly posteriorly from opening. Proventricle similar in length and width to pharynx (Fig. 4A), through 4 segments, with about 18–20 muscle cell rows. Pygidium small, with 2 anal cirri, similar to dorsal cirri but slightly longer.</p><p>Remarks. The holotype of the species is a damaged specimen masked by a dense cover of small crystals, difficult to examine, because it is opaque with some cirri lost (Fig. 6A) and many chaetae broken. It is longer than the above described specimens, about 4.3 mm long, 0.42 mm wide, 33 chaetigers. Compound chaetae similar to the additional material examined (Fig. 6B), but longer (blades 45 µm above, 10 µm below in midbody). Two aciculae present in more anterior parapodia, one distally rounded and the other acuminate (Fig. 6C), solitary acuminate acicula in midbody and posterior parapodia (Fig. 6D). Dorsal simple chaetae similar to those of Australian specimens (Fig. 6E), ventral simple chaetae unidentate and smooth (Fig. 6F), only on last chaetiger. Pharyngeal tooth present, apparently near the opening (Fig. 6A), but the exact position is not possible to elucidate because the opacity of the specimen.</p><p>The Australian specimens are much smaller than the holotype of the species, and the blades of the compound chaetae are much shorter; so the identification of these Australian specimens as Salvatoria kerguelensis is tentative. The compound chaetae are, however, similar and the differences in the location of the pharyngeal tooth could be the result of the poor condition of the holotype.</p><p>The record of this species from Port Jackson (Haswell, 1920a) is referred to Salvatoria longisetosa .</p><p>Distribution. Subantarctic seas: Kerguelen Islands, South Georgia. New Zealand. Australia (Western Australia).</p><p>Habitat. Volcanic mud, coralline algae, in sponges, seagrass beds, amongst algae.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/1C7B8784FFE5B07C12A6B4827565FB9B	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Body small, holotype is a mature male with natatory chaetae, 2 mm long, 0.27 mm wide, for about 27 chaetigers. Prostomium ovate, wider than long, with 4 thick eyes in trapezoidal arrangement and 2 anterior eyespots. Antennae spindle-shaped (fig. 12A), subdistally inflated, ending in short tip, similar in length to combined lengths of prostomium and palps or slightly longer, median antenna longer than lateral antennae, inserted slightly in front of line between posterior eyes (Fig. 11A), lateral antennae inserted in front of and medial to anterior eyes (Fig. 11A). Palps similar in length to prostomium or shorter, fused dorsally by a membrane, with a small distal notch, sometimes ventrally folded (Fig. 12B). Two distinct ciliated nuchal organs between prostomium and peristomium (Figs. 11A, 12A). Peristomium similar in length to following segments; tentacular cirri similar to antennae but more elongate, dorsal pair similar in length to lateral antennae, ventral pair shorter. Dorsal cirri spindle-shaped, present on all chaetigers, all similar in length or with slight variations in length, except those of chaetiger 1, which are slightly longer than subsequent ones (Fig. 11A). Compound chaetae with bidentate blades, both teeth similar, provided with moderately long, distally directed, thin spines basally, shorter and straight as more distal on margin (Fig. 12E); spines longer in dorsalmost chaetae.Anterior parapodia each with about 9–10 compound chaetae (Fig. 11B), with dorsoventral gradation in length, 26 µm above, 12–13 µm below; posteriorly number of compound chaetae declines progressively to 5–6 on posterior parapodia, provided with shorter blades, less marked dorsoventral gradation in length of blades (Fig. 11E), 22 µm above, 16 µm below, and more strongly bidentate. Dorsal simple chaetae from anterior chaetigers, sometimes from chaetiger 1, bidentate, subdistal tooth shorter than distal tooth, with short subdistal marginal spines (Fig. 11D). Ventral simple chaetae on most posterior parapodia of some specimens, sigmoid, bidentate, similar to dorsal ones (Fig. 11F). Anterior parapodia each with 2 aciculae, one straight and another one acuminate (Fig. 11C); solitary acicula in midbody and posterior parapodia, acuminate, with long tip (Fig. 11G). Pharynx relatively long, through about 4–5 segments; pharyngeal tooth small, rhomboidal to ovate, located near anterior margin, but distinctly posteriorly, without papillae on opening. Proventricle similar in length to pharynx, through about 5 segments, with 21–22 muscle cell rows. Pygidium small, with 2 anal cirri, similar to dorsal cirri but slightly longer.</p><p>Remarks. This species has been previously reported from Australia as Brania clavata (= Salvatoria clavata); both species are similar and are easy to confuse; the Australian species, however, has a relatively longer pharynx and proventricle than the European species; in addition blades of compound chaetae are provided with relatively longer and upwards curved marginal spines, straight in S. clavata, and the pharyngeal tooth is located much more anteriorly than in S. clavata (San Martín, 2003). I have examined two specimens reported from Australia as Brania clavata by Hartmann-Schröder (HZM P-16668) and it is clear that they are not that species, but S. koorineclavata n.sp. So, the species S. clavata is probably not present in Australia and the records are referred to S. koorineclavata .</p><p>Other species described from other parts of the world, usually under the genus name Brania, are similar, both to S. clavata and S. koorineclavata n.sp., but details of the pharynx and proventricle as well as details of the compound chaetae are different. Salvatoria californiensis (Kudenov &amp; Harris, 1995) has similar chaetae, but with shorter spines on the margin and less developed teeth, the acicula lacks a well defined acute tip, and the proventricle is much shorter, running through 2 segments instead of about 5 segments in S. koorineclavata, with fewer rows of muscle cells (19 rather than 21–22). Salvatoria clavata has been reported worldwide, but probably represents a suite of species.</p><p>Distribution. Australia (all States).</p><p>Habitat. Common in shallow waters on a variety of substrates, to 29 m depth.</p><p>Etymology. The name comes from an Aboriginal word, Koorine, meaning “daughter”, in relation with the similarity of theAustralian species to the European species of S. clavata .</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/1C7B8784FFF9B0631375B0287724FA2A	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Body small, holotype 2.2 mm long, 0.16 mm wide, 24 chaetigers. Prostomium ovate, distinctly wider than long; 4 eyes in trapezoidal arrangement, anterior eyespots not seen. Antennae small, rugose, more or less spindle-shaped; median antenna inserted between posterior eyes, similar in length to combined length of prostomium and palps, lateral antennae shorter than median antenna, inserted in front of anterior eyes. Palps shorter than prostomium, dorsally fused by a thin membrane, with a distal notch (Fig. 14A). Two distinct ciliated nuchal organs between prostomium and peristomium; peristomium similar in length to following segments, tentacular cirri similar to antennae, dorsal tentacular cirri similar in length to lateral antennae, ventral ones shorter. Dorsal cirri similar to antennae and tentacular cirri, lacking on chaetiger 2 (Fig. 14A); dorsal cirri of chaetiger 1 longer than remaining, similar in length to median antenna, all other dorsal cirri relatively short, some longer on posterior parapodia (Fig. 14B). Ventral cirri short, digitiform, those of posterior parapodia slightly longer. Parapodia ending, as typically other species of the genus, in 3 distinct rounded papillae (Fig. 14F). Compound chaetae with smooth, slender shafts and blades; blades bidentate, both teeth acute, subdistal tooth shorter than distal tooth, provided with moderately long spines, upwards pointed; on bases of longer blades, distal half of margin smooth or provided with small spines. Anterior parapodia each with about 6 compound chaetae, strong dorsoventral gradation in length of blades (Fig. 14E), 24 µm above, 8 µm below, longer blades with a double curvature; posterior parapodia each with only 4 compound chaetae, less marked dorsoventral gradation (Fig. 14H), 20 µm above, 14 µm below. Dorsal simple chaetae from chaetiger 1, smooth, slender, apparently unidentate (Fig. 14C,G). Ventral simple chaetae only present on most posterior chaetigers, sigmoid, smooth, strongly bidentate (Fig. 14I). Acicula solitary, acuminate (Fig. 14D). Pharynx long, through about 4 segments; pharyngeal tooth small, located near anterior margin. Proventricle similar in length to prostomium, through 3 segments, with about 18 muscle cell rows. Pygidium small, slightly bilobed, with 2 anal cirri, similar to dorsal cirri.</p><p>Remarks. Salvatoria pilkena n.sp. belongs to a small group of species with rugose dorsal cirri, different from the typical spindle-shaped typical of the genus, and lacking dorsal cirri on chaetiger 2. Salvatoria swedmarki (Gidholm, 1962) and S. celiae (Parapar &amp; San Martín, 1992) are similar, but they differ from S. pilkena in having much longer proventricles and in the compound chaetae, which are short and unidentate in S. swedmarki and strongly bidentate, with long marginal spines of blades in S. celiae (see Gidholm, 1962; Parapar &amp; San Martín, 1992; and San Martín, 2003). The described and figured specimen of S. opisthodentata by Hartmann-Schröder (1991) has similar compound chaetae and body but it is figured as having dorsal cirri on chaetiger 2; this specimen has been examined and lacks dorsal cirri on chaetiger 2.</p><p>Distribution.

Body small, with few segments, provided with dorsal and ventral papillae, also present on cirri and parapodia; usually covered by detritus; sometimes, some dorsal or ventral papillae long. Prostomium with 3 small, short antennae, 4 eyes, and 2 anterior eyespots, usually partially covered dorsally by peristomium, some species with the prostomium completely retracted inside peristomium. Palps fused along their length, short, slightly ventrally folded, provided with small papillae. Single pair of tentacular cirri, located ventrolaterally. Nuchal organs 2 small, ciliated lateral clefts, usually covered by peristomium and difficult to see. Antennae, tentacular and dorsal cirri short, pyriform to bulbous, with sphaerical bases and short tips that are usually retractile inside bases, especially in midbody and posterior parapodia; tips sometimes papilliform and short; dorsal cirri present on all parapodia. Parapodial glands absent. Parapodia with compound, heterogomph chaetae with unidentate, short, falcate blades; dorsal and ventral simple, capillary, unidentate chaetae on some parapodia. Acicula usually solitary, acuminate, sometimes slightly modified. Pharynx long and wide, usually without papillae around opening; pharyngeal tooth rhomboidal to oval, located posteriorly from anterior margin of pharynx, sometimes on middle of pharynx. Proventricle long and wide, similar in size to pharynx, provided with numerous, slender muscle cell rows. Reproduction by epigamy with dorsal incubation by means of capillary notochaetae; mature males provided with long, thin natatory chaetae on mature segments.</p><p>Type species. Sphaerosyllis xarifae Hartmann-Schröder, 1960; designated by San Martín (1984b).</p><p>Remarks. Prosphaerosyllis was erected as a subgenus of Sphaerosyllis Claparède, 1863 for a group of species differing from the type species of the genus, S. hystrix Claparède, 1863, and other species included in the nominal subgenus Sphaerosyllis, in the shape and position of the pharyngeal tooth, shape of pharynx and proventricle, shape of dorsal cirri and presence of dorsal cirri on chaetiger 2. This differentiation, however, has not been universally accepted, as these taxa are “based on artificial characters more than important phylogenetic characters” (Russell, 1989; Westheide, 1990; Kudenov &amp; Harris, 1995), although these authors do not analyze the characters of the genus and do not explain which characters are of phylogenetic importance, and which are not. Riser (1991) discussed the genus and recognized three groups of species, one of which mostly agrees with Prosphaerosyllis, but he considered this not relevant to the concept of subgenera in Sphaerosyllis . In fact, there is another character not considered by any of the above mentioned authors, the type of reproduction, which is different in Prosphaerosyllis (females carrying eggs by means of capillary notochaeta) to that present in Sphaerosyllis (females without notochaetae, brooding ventrally eggs and juveniles). For the above reasons, I propose here that Prosphaerosyllis be elevated to genus level taxon.</p><p>All species of Prosphaerosyllis have similar chaetae; species identification is based principally on the shape of dorsal cirri, position of pharyngeal tooth, and the arrangement of papillae; the papillae, however, can appear different when they are covered in debris, so the specimens must be cleaned before identification. Some species have papillae of three different sizes, short, moderate and long (see Fig. 17A,B) or of two sizes, short and moderate (see Figs. 15A, 16B,C).</p><p>Key to species of Prosphaerosyllis recorded from Australia</p><p>1 Some papillae on dorsum elongate, digitiform ............................................................................. 2</p><p>—— All dorsal papillae similar, rounded ............................................................................................... 4</p><p>2 Papillae on dorsum of each segment, at least on midbody, arranged in transverse lines of 4–5 similar, moderately long papillae.

Antennae small, pyriform, all similar in shape and size (Figs. 15A, 16B), with bulbous bases and short tip; lateral antennae inserted on anterior margin of prostomium, near eyespots, median antenna inserted between anterior eyes. Palps large, short, totally fused all along their length, with scattered papillae (Figs. 15A, 16B). Peristomium covering dorsally posterior margin of prostomium; tentacular cirri similar in shape to antennae, but smaller (Fig. 15A). Dorsal cirri on all segments; anterior dorsal cirri similar to antennae and tentacular cirri, with bulbous bases and short tip (Figs. 15A, 16B), bases elongate progressively posteriorly and tips become retractile (Figs. 15B, 16C,D); dorsal cirri of midbody slightly longer than parapodial lobes. Parapodial lobes relatively short, conical, with some small papillae (Fig. 16C–E). Compound chaetae heterogomph, with smooth shafts, and unidentate, thin blades, smooth or provided with short marginal spines of dorsal chaetae (Figs. 15D, 16F). Anterior parapodia each with 6 compound chaetae, diminishing to 4 on posterior parapodia. Slight dorsoventral gradation in size of blades, 20–13 µm on anterior parapodia, about 17–16 µm on posterior parapodia. Dorsal simple chaetae from anterior segments, usually from chaetiger 1, unidentate, with few, short subdistal spines (Fig. 15C). Ventral simple chaetae on posterior parapodia, sigmoid, unidentate, smooth (Fig. 15E). Acicula solitary, acuminate (Fig. 15F). Pharynx long and wide, through 4–5 segments; pharyngeal tooth oval, located near middle of pharynx (Fig. 15A). Proventricle similar in length and width to pharynx, through 3–4 segments, with 20–25 muscle cell rows.</p><p>Remarks. Prosphaerosyllis campoyi San Martín et al., 1982 is close to P. xarifae, with similar arrangement of dorsal papillae, but the late species has some compound chaetae with blades with long marginal spines (see San Martín, 2003, figs. 100, 101). Prosphaerosyllis riseri Perkins, 1981 has similar dorsal cirri, but the blades of compound chaetae have longer spines on blades and it has only two rows of long dorsal papillae, plus other lateral papillae (Perkins, 1981; Russell, 1991).</p><p>Distribution. Red Sea. Mediterranean Sea. Eastern Atlantic, from Bay of Biscay to Canary Islands. Australia (Queensland, Western Australia, South Australia).</p><p>Habitat. Intertidal to about 40 m depth, on all kinds of substrates: algae, sand, mud, seagrasses, calcareous substrates.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/1C7B8784FFFCB0671225B2837182FBF5	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Prostomium rectangular to oval, wider than long, usually partially or totally covered by dorsal fold of peristomium, with 4 large eyes in trapezoidal arrangement, close to each other on each side, and 2 small anterior eyespots. Antennae pyriform, with bulbous bases and short tips, all similar; median antenna inserted between anterior eyes, lateral antennae inserted on anterior margin of prostomium (Fig. 17A). Palps short, totally fused all along their length, with numerous, short papillae (Figs. 17A, 18C). Peristomium large and long (Figs. 17A, 18A), provided with few small papillae and some moderately long papillae on lateral margins; tentacular cirri similar to antennae but distinctly smaller. Nuchal organs small, located laterally in front of tentacular cirri (Fig. 18C), anteriorly protected by a lip (Fig. 18D). Dorsal cirri on all parapodia; anterior dorsal cirri similar to antennae (Figs. 17A, 18C), progressively increasing in length posteriorly, elongate (Figs. 17B, 18A,B,E), with a median enlargement and a distal, retractile cirrostyle (Fig. 17B). Dorsal papillae of 3 sizes; numerous small, rounded papillae distributed irregularly, about 4 moderately long papillae on dorsum of each segment, located laterally and dorsolaterally, and 2 long, digitiform papillae on each segment, forming 2 longitudinal rows of median, long papillae (Figs. 17A,B, 18A,B).

The species Prosphaerosyllis bilineata (Kudenov &amp; Harris, 1995), from California, is similar but the arrangement of dorsal papillae appear to be slightly different. Also, Prosphaerosyllis chinensis (Jing &amp; Wu, 1991) appears to be close to P. longipapillata, with similar arrangement of dorsal papillae (Jing &amp; Wu, 1991).</p><p>Habitat. Common on all substrates, from corals to mud; occurs from intertidal to 466 m depth.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/1C7B8784FFFFB0681192B0BA762BF859	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

WESTERN AUSTRALIA. 1 specimen, HZM P-17068, Rockingham, Point Peron, G. Hartmann-Schröder.</p><p>Description. Body small, up to 2.6 mm long, 0.55 mm wide, 25 chaetigers, broad anteriorly, provided with scattered, small dorsal and ventral papillae (Figs. 20E, 21A) on anterior segments; from proventricular level, each segment provided dorsally with 6 small papillae, arranged forming a “V”, 3 on each side of segment (Figs. 20E,F, 21B). Prostomium oval, longer than wide, nearly completely covered by peristomium; 4 large eyes in trapezoidal arrangement and 2 anterior eyespots. Antennae small, pyriform to sphaerical, all similar in shape and size (Figs. 20E, 21A), with bulbous bases and minute, indistinct tip; all antennae inserted in line, in front of eyespots (Fig. 21A). Palps large, short, totally fused all along their length, with a few papillae (Fig. 21A). Peristomium covering dorsally almost all prostomium; tentacular cirri similar in shape to antennae, but smaller (Figs. 20E, 21A). Dorsal cirri on all segments, similar to antennae anteriorly, appearing sphaerical (Fig. 21A) but provided with a short, small tip (Figs. 20E, 21C,D); from midbody posteriorly, dorsal cirri slightly elongate (Fig. 20F), with a distal, retractile tip and an internal, dark gland (Fig. 21E). Parapodial lobes relatively short. Compound chaetae heterogomph, with strong articulation, with smooth shafts, and unidentate, short blades, smooth (Fig. 21H). Anterior parapodia each with 7–8 compound chaetae, diminishing to 3–4 on posterior parapodia. All blades similar in size, 10–12 µm on anterior parapodia, slightly shorter on posterior parapodia. Dorsal simple chaetae from anterior segments, usually from chaetiger 1, unidentate, with few, short subdistal spines (Fig. 21F). Ventral simple chaetae on posterior parapodia, sigmoid, smooth (not seen in the examined specimen). Acicula solitary, acuminate (Fig. 21G). Pharynx wide, through 5 segments; pharyngeal tooth oval, located just posteriorly to middle of pharynx (Fig. 21A). Proventricle similar in length and width to pharynx, through 3 segments, with 18–20 muscle cell rows.</p><p>Remarks. This species is similar to P. longipapillata Hartmann-Schröder, 1979 and P. nathani San Martín &amp; López, 1998, differing mainly in having small papillae, arranged forming a V on dorsum of each segment instead of rows of long papillae. Prosphaerosyllis pumila (Westheide, 1974) from Galápagos Islands is similar in having all the antennae inserted on anterior margin of prostomium, but the dorsal cirri are similar throughout, with longer tips than those of P. sexpapillata and the pharyngeal tooth is much smaller, located more anteriorly in the pharynx (Westheide, 1974).</p><p>One specimen from Tasmania, used for SEM photographs, agrees well with the above description, although the median antenna is missing and it is difficult to say if it is anterior or not on prostomium. That specimen is a mature female, carrying eggs dorsally. In the original description, the elongation of dorsal cirri from midbody was omitted, but it is present both in the examined specimen from HZM (P-17068) as well as in the specimen used for SEM examination.</p><p>Distribution. Australia (Western and South Australia, New South Wales, Queensland).</p><p>Habitat. Amongst algae, sediments.

Prostomium oval to pentagonal, slightly larger than long, contracted on anterior segments but not covered by them (Figs. 27A, 28B); 4 large eyes in trapezoidal arrangement and 2 anterior eyespots. Antennae all similar, small, mamilliform; median antenna inserted between posterior eyes, lateral antennae inserted in front of anterior eyes, slightly posteriorly to eyespots (Fig. 28A). Palps short, fused all along their length except for a terminal notch, provided with distinct papillae (Fig. 28A). Peristomium small, short, indistinct, covering posterior margin of prostomium (Figs. 28A, 29B); tentacular cirri similar to antennae but smaller (Figs. 28A, 29B), similar to papillae. Dorsum and ventrum covered by large, round papillae, forming 3–4 irregular transverse rows, giving a rough appearance (Fig. 29A), especially on anterior half of body (Figs. 28A, 29B), papillae less numerous on posterior half of body (Figs. 28B, 29D). Dorsal cirri on all parapodia, short, mamilliform (Fig. 29C) to lemon-shaped on anterior parapodia (Figs. 28A, 29B), longer and larger on posterior half of body, dilated basally, provided with a distinct, retractile cirrostyle (Figs. 28B, 29C).

Acicula solitary, slender, acuminate (Fig. 28H). Pharynx through about 4–5 segments; pharyngeal tooth large, rhomboidal, located in anterior half pf pharynx (Fig. 28A). Proventricle through 3 segments, with about 26 muscle cell rows.</p><p>Remarks. Prosphaerosyllis battiri n.sp. is characterized by having palps not totally fused, prostomium not retracted on peristomium or only slightly retracted, the shape of dorsal cirri and the arrangement of papillae, which are numerous anteriorly and less numerous on posterior segments. It appears to resemble Prosphaerosyllis semiverrucosa Ehlers, 1913, but the arrangement of dorsal papillae is reversed, being more or less smooth on anterior segments and rough on posterior half of body (Ehlers, 1913; Day, 1967); I have examined one posterior piece of one specimen of S. semiverrucosa (ZHM P-14615) and it agrees perfectly with Ehlers’ and Day’s descriptions, with numerous dorsal papillae.</p><p>Distribution.

Body small to minute, more or less densely covered by papillae, usually small, short, scarce, sometimes also distributed on cirri and parapodia. Prostomium with 3 antennae, 4 eyes and 2 anterior eyespots. Peristomium usually large, covering posterior margin of prostomium, sometimes forming 2 dorsolateral wings covering nuchal organs; single pair of tentacular cirri. Dorsal cirri on chaetiger 2 absent or present, depending upon the species, usually absent. Antennae, tentacular cirri and dorsal cirri spindle-shaped to pyriform, with slightly bulbous bases and short to moderately long tip. A pair of anal cirri similar to dorsal cirri, usually longer. Compound chaetae heterogomph, with blades short or long, sometimes long and slender, bidentate, bidentate and unidentate, or unidentate. Pharyngeal tooth small, conical to rhomboidal, located near anterior margin, sometimes near middle of pharynx; pharynx usually without papillae around opening, but present on larger species. Proventricle long and wide, barrelshaped, with numerous, slender muscle cell rows (15–22). Mature males with natatory chaetae; females brooding eggs dorsally, by means of capillary notochaetae.</p><p>Type species. Sphaerosyllis erinaceus Claparède, 1863, herein designated.</p><p>Remarks. This new genus consists of several species previously described under Sphaerosyllis and several described as sub-species of Sphaerosyllis erinaceus, differing by the compound chaetae; these differences are sufficient to consider all of them as different species. Erinaceusyllis n.gen. is obviously similar to Sphaerosyllis .</p><p>Species of Sphaerosyllis, however, always have papillae on the pharynx opening, the pharyngeal tooth is conical, always located on the anterior margin of pharynx or very near, usually with a short proventricle provided with few, a large muscle cell rows, large posterior acicula distally bent at a right angle, blades of compound chaetae always short and unidentate, and brood developing ventrally embryos and juveniles, without capillary notochaetae on the females, only on males. Sphaerosyllis horrockensis, Sphaerosyllis belizensis, and S. centroamericana, are herein transferred to Erinaceusyllis n.gen. because their characters agree with the diagnosis given above and they are different to that of Sphaerosyllis as given below. Prosphaerosyllis is close to Erinaceusyllis n.gen., but the pharyngeal tooth is rhomboidal to oval and located usually near middle of pharynx, antennae are always short, tentacular and dorsal cirri have a bulbous cirrophore and retractile cirrostyle, and the papillae are more numerous, usually of different sizes.</p><p>The genus Cicese Díaz-Castañeda &amp; San Martín, 2001 is identical to Erinaceusyllis but has two pairs of tentacular cirri instead of a single pair (Díaz-Castañeda &amp; San Martín, 2001).</p><p>The type species of this genus is Sphaerosyllis erinaceus Claparède, 1863; the original description, however, is incomplete (Claparède, 1863); the species has been reported worldwide but probably these records represent a complex of different species, that need to be re-examined.</p><p>Key to species of Erinaceusyllis recorded from Australia</p><p>1 Dorsal cirri present on chaetiger 2 ..........................................................................

Pygidium semi-circular, with two anal cirri similar to dorsal cirri but longer, and several papillae (Fig. 38B).</p><p>Remarks. This species was widely reported in Australia as Sphaerosyllis erinaceus and S. erinaceus erinaceus, a species described from Northern Europe, reported widely all around the world, from Arctic, temperate, tropical, to Antarctic seas. This appear to be a complex of species, in need of revision. There is not a recent redescription of the European specimens, which would probably clarify the situation. Fauvel (1923) states that the blades of the compound chaetae are long and slender, different from the short, falcate blades of the Australian specimens, suggesting that they are different species. Recently, I have examined some specimens from Spitzbergen identified as Sphaerosyllis erinaceus in the HZM collections and the compound chaetae are distinctly different to those reported from Australia, which are in fact a mixture of several of the species herein described in Erinaceusyllis . Imajima (1966) reported and described S. erinaceus from Japan, which agree quite well with the specimens from Spitzbergen, and these specimens are similar to E. hartmannschroederae n.sp., but the blades show distinct dorsoventral gradation in length. Several subspecies of S. erinaceus have been described from several areas, on the basis of differences in the shape and size of the compound chaetae; these differences are sufficiently important to consider them as distinct species.</p><p>Distribution. Australia (all states).</p><p>Habitat.All kind of sediments, intertidal to about 15 m depth.</p><p>Etymology. The species is named in honour to Dr Gesa Hartmann-Schröder, who reported and described many species of syllids from Australia and worldwide.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/1C7B8784FFC2B05D1100B7BE716DF90A	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Body small, relatively short, up to 2.5 mm long, 0.12 mm wide, 26 chaetigers. Dorsal surface provided with numerous, rounded papillae, present from peristomium to pygidium (Figs. 48A,B, 49A,B). Prostomium rectangular; 4 eyes in rectangular to trapezoidal arrangement, close to each other on each side. Antennae inserted on anterior margin of prostomium, all similar or median antenna slightly longer than lateral antennae, all longer than palps, shorter than combined length of prostomium and palps (Figs. 48A,</p><p>49B). Palps similar in length to prostomium, sometimes ventrally folded. Peristomium dorsally covering posterior part of prostomium, similar in length to following segments; tentacular cirri slightly shorter than antennae. Dorsal cirri similar to tentacular cirri, slightly elongate (Fig. 48A), especially on far posterior segments (Fig. 48B). Small, indistinct parapodial glands with hyaline to granular material from chaetiger 4 (Fig. 48A), difficult to see. Anterior parapodia each with about 6 compound chaetae, numbers declining posteriorly to 3 on posterior parapodia; strong dorsoventral gradation in length of blades, especially on anterior segments, 36 µm above 16 µm below (Fig. 48E), less marked on posterior parapodia, 24 µm above 14 µm below (Fig. 48G); longer blades provided with long marginal spines basally, spines shorter on ventral and posterior chaetae. Dorsal simple chaetae from anterior parapodia, curved, unidentate, provided with short marginal spines (Fig. 48C), slightly thicker on posterior parapodia (Fig. 48F). Ventral simple chaetae on posterior parapodia, sigmoid, smooth, unidentate. Acicula solitary, distally bent at right angle (Fig. 48D), thicker posteriorly (Fig. 48H). Pharynx through 3–4 segments; pharyngeal tooth relatively long (Fig. 48A). Proventricle small, through 2 segments, with 13–14 muscle cell rows. Pygidium small, with two anal cirri similar to dorsal cirri but longer (Fig. 48B).</p><p>Remarks. Sphaerosyllis densopapillata, originally described as a subspecies of S. capensis, is similar to S. magnidentata Perkins, 1981 from Florida, Bahamas, Cuba, Belize, and the Canary Islands. Both species have a similar size, arrangement of antennae, parapodial glands small, with hyaline contents, and a large pharyngeal tooth (see Perkins, 1981; Russell, 1991; Núñez et al., 1992). Sphaerosyllis densopapillata, however, has many more dorsal papillae; juvenile specimens have a less densely papillated dorsum, and the papillae are more difficult to see on specimens covered by a dense coat of detritus. I have examined the holotype and 11 paratypes of the species S. cuticulata Hartmann-Schröder, 1991; the holotype appears to be a juvenile specimen of S. densopapillata, with less papillated dorsum than the larger specimens; the paratypes belong to S. capensis (see below).</p><p>Distribution. Australia (Western Australia, Queensland, New South Wales).</p><p>Habitat. Sand, from fine to coarse. Amongst algae, inside corals and coralline algae. Intertidal to about 30 m depth.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/1C7B8784FFDCB04611F0B1D076DBF964	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply. See Agosti, D., Egloff, W., 2009.

Body small, short, 1.7 mm long, 0.14 mm wide, 18 chaetigers, dorsum sparsely covered with small papillae, extending to palps and parapodia (Figs. 49C,D, 50A,B). Prostomium rectangular, mostly covered by peristomium (Fig. 49C, 50A); 4 eyes in trapezoidal arrangement. Antennae similar in length to prostomium or slightly longer, all similar, with bulbous bases and moderate tips, inserted on anterior margin of prostomium, just in front of anterior eyes (Figs. 49C, 50A). Tentacular cirri similar to antennae but shorter. Dorsal cirri short, similar to tentacular cirri (Fig. 50A), slightly elongate from midbody (Figs. 49D, 50B). Parapodial glands from chaetiger 4, large, distinct, with fibrillar material (Fig. 50A), provided each with a distinct large dorsal papilla longer than all other papillae (Fig. 50A,B), opening by a pore (Fig. 49D). Anterior parapodia each with about 7–8 compound chaetae, blades unidentate, provided with moderately long marginal spines, longer on dorsal chaetae (Fig. 50E), with a subdistal spine longer than others (Fig. 49E), and marked dorsoventral gradation in length, about 23 µm above, 13 µm below. Progressively posteriorly number of compound chaetae on each parapodium decreasing to 5–6, with larger shafts and shorter blades, about 15–13 µm long, slightly hooked, smooth or provided with short marginal spines (Figs. 49F, 50G). Dorsal simple chaetae from chaetiger 1, unidentate, provided with moderately long marginal spines (Fig. 50C,F). Ventral simple chaetae on posterior parapodia, sigmoid, unidentate, smooth (Fig. 50H). Acicula solitary, with tips bent at right angle (Fig. 50D,I). Pygidium small, provided with few papillae and 2 anal cirri, similar in shape to dorsal cirri but longer. Pharynx slender, through 3 segments; pharyngeal tooth anteriorly located. Proventricle small, through 2 segments, with 14 muscle cell rows.</p><p>Remarks. Sphaerosyllis hystrix from European coasts is similar, but the median antenna is inserted more posteriorly and the compound chaetae of anterior parapodia have longer blades with more marked dorsoventral gradation in length (San Martín, 1984a, 2003). Sphaerosyllis taylori Perkins, 1981, from the Atlantic coasts of North America, Caribbean Sea, Canary Islands, and the Mediterranean, also has a less marked gradation in length of blades, parapodial glands with fibrillar material, but the median antenna is inserted more posteriorly than in S. capensis and the blades are shorter (Perkins, 1981; San Martín, 1984a, 2003). The paratypes of S. cuticulata agrees with the above described specimens, except for the antennae, which are slightly longer, but I consider them as belonging to the same species.</p><p>Distribution.

Springthorpe, 6 Jan 1984.</p><p>Description. Body small, slender (Fig. 53D), 2.3 mm long, 0.12 mm wide, 26 chaetigers; dorsum covered with small papillae, extended to palps and parapodia, numerous on midbody (Fig. 54A). Prostomium rectangular, mostly covered by peristomium (Figs. 53E, 54A); 4 eyes in trapezoidal arrangement. Antennae similar in length to prostomium or slightly shorter, all similar, with bulbous bases and moderate tip; lateral antennae inserted on anterior margin, median antenna inserted slightly posteriorly (Fig. 53E), just in front of anterior eyes (Fig. 54A). Tentacular cirri similar to antennae but shorter. Dorsal cirri short, similar to tentacular cirri (Figs. 53E, 54A). Parapodial glands large, with granular or hyaline material, usually both kinds of material in the same specimen (Fig. 54A); some specimens with parapodial glands difficult to see.Anterior parapodia each with about 5 compound chaetae, blades unidentate, provided with moderately long marginal spines, longer on dorsal chaetae (Fig. 54C), with marked dorsoventral gradation in length, about 20 µm above, 10 µm below. Posteriorly, number of compound chaetae on each parapodium decreasing to 3 on posterior parapodia, with larger shafts and blades shorter, about 12–10 µm long, slightly hooked, smooth or provided with short marginal spines (Fig. 54F). Dorsal simple chaetae from chaetiger 1, unidentate, provided with moderately long marginal spines (Fig. 54B,E). Ventral simple chaetae on posterior parapodia, sigmoid, unidentate, smooth (Fig. 54G). Acicula solitary, with tips bent at right angle (Fig. 54D). Pygidium small, provided with few (5–7) long papillae and 2 anal cirri, similar in shape to dorsal cirri but longer (Figs. 53F, 54H). Pharynx slender, through 3 segments; pharyngeal tooth anteriorly located. Proventricle small, through 1 segment, with 13–14 muscle cell rows.</p><p>Remarks. This species is characterized by its large parapodial glands with hyaline material, small size, short proventricle, median antenna inserted slightly posteriorly to lateral antennae, and long pygidial papillae. Juveniles of S. hirsuta appear to be similar and difficult to discriminate. Sphaerosyllis pygipapillata has all antennae in line, apparently smooth dorsum, and the pygidial papillae are longer and slender.</p><p>Distribution. Australia (Western Australia).</p><p>Habitat. Associated with dead corals, also in medium sand on coral reefs, in shallow waters.</p><p>Etymology. This species is named in honour of Mr George Harrison, ex-Beatle and one of my favourite musicians, who passed away recently.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/1C7B8784FFD3B04D11EDB293700CFB13	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Palps similar in length to prostomium, fused for their basal half (Fig. 61A). Peristomium shorter than following segments; tentacular cirri similar to lateral antennae but shorter. Parapodial glands small, with dark, granular material, usually 2 glands per parapodium. Dorsal cirri bowling-pin shaped (Fig. 61A), longer than parapodial lobes. Parapodial lobes conical, with a small, thin distal rounded papilla. Ventral cirri digitiform, shorter than parapodial lobes. Compound chaetae similar throughout, (Fig. 61D,G); blades unidentate, distally distinctly rounded, slightly hooked, marginal spines moderate in length; subdistal spine near tip, similar to other spines but slightly longer and thicker (Fig. 61D,G). Parapodia each with about 6–8 compound chaetae, blades 18 µm above 6 µm below in midbody segments (Fig. 61G); chaetae of anterior parapodia with slightly shorter blades (Fig. 61D), diminishing progressively in length, 10 µm above, 5 µm below; long blades disappearing in posteriormost parapodia. Dorsal simple chaetae from chaetiger 1, unidentate, provided with about 4–5 short spines of similar size (Fig. 61F), anterior dorsal simple chaetae slender (Fig. 61C). Ventral simple chaetae on most posterior parapodia, sigmoid, with short marginal spines and unidentate (Fig. 61E). Solitary acicula in each parapodium, tip enlarged and rounded, slightly hollow.

Parapionosyllis richardi n.sp., is characterized by having compound chaetae with a strong gradation in length of blades, provided with moderately long marginal spines and dorsal simple chaetae with few teeth, all similar in size. Parapionosyllis macaronesiaensis Brito, Núñez &amp; San Martín (2000), from Canary and Madeira Islands (see Brito et al., 2000), has similar chaetae, but the dorsalmost compound chaetae are provided with long blades and the remaining are much shorter, with a dorsoventral gradation, and the dorsal simple chaetae have 2 teeth longer than the rest. The most similar species appears to be Parapionosyllis elegans (Pierantoni, 1903); both species have compound chaetae with moderately long marginal spines and gradation in size of blades. The antennae of P. elegans, however, have a smaller enlargement, longer the proventricle, the ventral simple chaetae are smooth, and the dorsal simple chaetae have a distinctly longer and thicker tooth (see Pierantoni, 1903; San Martín, 2003). Parapionosyllis uebelackerae San Martín (1991b), from the Gulf of México, is a larger species, with longer blades on the compound chaetae, although the dorsal simple chaetae are similar (San Martín, 1991b).</p><p>Distribution. Australia (Western Australia).</p><p>Habitat. In dead corals.</p><p>Etymology. The species is dedicated to Mr Richard Johnson, of The Australian Museum.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/1C7B8784FFADB034118BB0B0707DFE89	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Body small and slender, moderately long, 2.8 mm long, 0.2 mm wide, 40 chaetigers. Prostomium oval, wider than long; 4 small eyes in trapezoidal arrangement and 2 minute anterior eyespots (Fig. 67A,B); antennae inserted close to each other, just in front of anterior eyes, lateral antenna cylindrical, long, similar in length to combined length of prostomium and palps, lateral antennae about ¼ length of median antenna. Palps broad, completely fused to each other, forming a triangular piece, slightly longer than prostomium. Peristomium similar in length to following segments, covering dorsally posterior end of prostomium; tentacular cirri papilliform. Dorsal cirri papilliform, shorter than parapodial lobes, smaller than lateral antennae but slightly larger than tentacular cirri, absent on chaetiger 2 (Fig. 67A). Compound chaetae with smooth, thick shafts, thicker and becoming more angular posteriorly; blades short, bidentate, subdistal tooth small, well separated from distal tooth on posterior parapodia, with short marginal spines on anterior parapodia (Fig. 67D), smooth on posterior parapodia (Fig. 67F), all similar in length, about 9–8 µm. Anterior parapodia each with about 8 compound chaetae, numbers diminishing progressively posteriorly to 3 on posterior parapodia. Dorsal simple chaetae from chaetiger 1, slender anteriorly, bidentate, with short subdistal spines (Fig. 67C), progressively thicker, distinctly thick posteriorly, smooth, strongly bidentate, both teeth similar and strong, widely separated from each other (Fig. 67E). Ventral simple chaetae from chaetiger 24 in holotype, thick, similar to dorsal simple chaetae (Fig. 67G). Pharynx short, through about 4–5 segments, pharyngeal tooth long, on anterior rim (Fig. 67A). Proventricle similar in length to pharynx, through about 4 segments, with 18 muscle cell rows.</p><p>Remarks. Exogone (Parexogone) wilsoni n.sp. is similar to E. (P.) hebes from Atlantic coasts of North America and Europe; E. (P.) wilsoni, however, has proportionally longer median antenna and the chaetae, although similar, are different, with smaller proximal tooth and some spines on the margin (see San Martín, 2003). Exogone (P.) parahomoseta Hartmann-Schröder, 1974b, from South Africa, as well as its subspecies mediterranea from the Mediterranean Sea, have the dorsal simple chaetae marginally serrated, and the blades of compound chaetae are provided with long and thick marginal spines (Hartmann-Schröder, 1974b; San Martín, 1984a, 2003). Exogone (Parexogone) breviseta Kudenov &amp; Harris, 1995, from California, has shorter antennae, proportionally longer blades on the compound chaetae, and lacks compound chaetae with large shafts and short blades, with subdistal tooth well separated from distal tooth, smooth on margin (see Kudenov &amp; Harris, 1995); in addition, the dorsal and ventral simple chaetae are not as thick as those present in E. (P.) wilsoni .</p><p>Distribution. Australia (Victoria, New South Wales).</p><p>Habitat. Sand, 4–22 m depth.</p><p>Etymology.

Palps long, triangular, completely fused along their length, with a slight dorsal furrow (Fig. 73A). Peristomium slightly shorter than following segments, covering dorsally posterior part of prostomium; tentacular cirri small, papilliform, smaller than lateral antennae. Dorsal cirri papilliform, smaller than lateral antennae but larger than tentacular cirri, absent on chaetiger 2, shorter than parapodial lobes (Fig. 73A). Compound chaetae heterogomph, shafts with small subdistal spines, similar throughout, blades bidentate, with small subdistal tooth and moderate, coarse marginal spines, 1–2 with longer blades (20 µm) and remaining shorter, (13– 10 µm) (Fig. 73B); anterior parapodia each with about 12 compound chaetae, numbers diminishing progressively posteriorly to 5 on posterior parapodia. Dorsal simple chaetae from post-proventricular segments, nearly smooth, distally blunt, slightly bidentate (Fig. 73C). Ventral simple chaetae on posterior parapodia, sigmoid, with a few, short subdistal spines, distinctly bidentate (Fig. 73D). Acicula solitary, distally expanded and rounded (Fig. 73E). Pharynx through about 5 segments; pharyngeal tooth on anterior rim (Fig. 73A). Proventricle similar in length to pharynx, through about 4–5 segments, with 25 muscle cell rows. Pygidium small, with 2 anal cirri similar in length and shape to median antenna.</p><p>Distribution. Chile. Australia (NSW, Western Australia).</p><p>Habitat.

Body proportionally short, broad, 3–4 mm long, 0.23 mm wide, 30–40 chaetigers. Prostomium oval, wider than long; 4 thick eyes in trapezoidal arrangement. Median antenna long, cylindrical, usually with a subterminal enlargement, slightly longer than prostomium and palps together, inserted close to line between posterior eyes; lateral antennae similar in length to prostomium, cylindrical, inserted between median antenna and each posterior eye (Fig. 74A). Palps broad, relatively short, similar in length to prostomium or slightly shorter, fused along their length, with a dorsal furrow and a distal notch (Fig. 74A). Peristomium similar in length to following segments; tentacular cirri ovoid, much shorter than lateral antennae. Dorsal cirri similar to tentacular cirri, slightly longer, absent on chaetiger 2 (Fig. 74A), shorter than parapodial lobes. Most anterior parapodia each with about 5–7 compound chaetae, all compound chaetae heterogomph falcigers, with long subdistal teeth and small, indistinct distal teeth, and short marginal spines (Fig. 74C), about 6–7 µm long; from about chaetiger 4–5 parapodia with 4–6 similar compound falcigers (Fig. 74F) and solitary strongly modified spinigerlike, distally spinose on shaft, and blade triangular, large on bases, proportionally short, about 15–16 µm long, distally minutely bidentate (Fig. 74E); from midbody posteriorly spiniger-like chaetae with shorter, more strongly triangular blades (Fig. 74H), indistinctly bidentate, about 14 µm long, in addition 3–4 falcigers with short blades (Fig. 74I), about 4– 5 µm long. Dorsal simple chaetae from anterior parapodia, with rounded tips and finely spinulose subterminally, thicker posteriorly (Figs. 74B,D,G).Ventral simple chaetae on posterior parapodia, sigmoid, nearly smooth, with long subdistal tooth and short, small distal tooth (Fig. 74J).Acicula solitary, distally rounded (Fig. 74K). Pharynx through 4 segments; pharyngeal tooth on anterior rim (Fig. 74A). Proventricle through 3 segments, with about 20 muscle cell rows.</p><p>Remarks. The Australian specimens agree with Haswell’s (1920a) description of E. heterosetosa; the original description did not specify the length of the median antenna, because “the state of the preparation renders its presence doubtful”(McIntosh, 1885); subsequent descriptions of the species, however, show a long median antenna.</p><p>Distribution. Subantarctic seas. Australia (New South Wales, South Australia, Tasmania, Victoria, Western Australia, Queensland).</p><p>Habitat. All substrates: mud, sand, gravel, dead corals, algae, sponges. From shallow waters to about 600 m depth.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/1C7B8784FFBCB02612CDB12776D3FA0E	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Prostomium ovate to subrectangular or subpentagonal, wider than long; 4 eyes in trapezoidal arrangement. Antennae inserted anterior to a line between anterior eyes, near anterior margin, all at same level (Figs. 75A, 76A); median antenna longer than lateral antennae, slightly longer than prostomium, shorter than prostomium and palps together, cylindrical with a distinct enlargement on middle and a subdistal narrowing; lateral antennae cylindrical, about 2 ⁄ of length of median antenna 3</p><p>(Fig. 75A). Palps broad, longer than prostomium, fused along their length, with a distinct dorsal furrow (Figs. 75A, 76A). Peristomium similar in length to following segments; tentacular cirri ovoid, small. Dorsal cirri similar to tentacular cirri but longer, shorter than parapodial lobes, absent on chaetiger 2 (Figs. 75A, 76A). Anterior 5 parapodia each with about 5 compound falcigers, with spinose shafts and short, bidentate blades, subdistal tooth long and minute, indistinct distal tooth, with straight, moderate marginal spines (Fig. 75B), 6–7 µm long, without compound spinigerlike chaetae. From about chaetiger 6, parapodia each with solitary spiniger-like chaeta, shaft enlarged, distally expanded, with numerous long spines, and proportionally short, thin, unidentate, triangular blade, appearing like a long spine under low magnifications, provided with a few thin marginal spines (Figs. 75D, 76B,C); in addition 3 falcigers, similar to those of anteriormost parapodia but shorter (Figs. 75E, 76B), about 5–6 µm long; posterior parapodia each with solitary compound spiniger-like chaetae (Fig. 75G) similar to those of midbody segments; in addition 2 falcigers, with short blades (Figs. 75H, 76D), 4 µm long. Dorsal simple chaetae from chaetiger 1 or from an anteriormost parapodium, with rounded tips and finely spinulose subterminally (Figs. 75C, 76C), thicker posteriorly (Fig. 75F). Ventral simple chaetae on posterior parapodia, thick, sigmoid, smooth, bidentate, with small distal tooth and large subdistal tooth (Figs. 75I, 76D). Pharynx short, through about 3–4 segments; pharyngeal tooth small, on anterior rim (Fig. 75A). Proventricle short in relation to length of body, small, through 3 segments, with 14 muscle cell rows. Pygidium with 2 long anal cirri.</p><p>Remarks. Exogone (E.) heterosetosa and E. (E.) heterosetoides, only known from the Southern Hemiphere, both have modified spiniger-like chaetae, with distally enlarged and spinose shafts and relatively short, triangular blades. Recently, another species, E. (E.) mompasensis Martínez, Adarraga &amp; San Martín (2002), with similar chaetae, has been discovered on the Atlantic Spanish coasts. This species differs from these two Southern species in the size of the median antenna, insertion of the antennae, size of the proventricle, and details of the chaetae (Martínez et al., 2002). San Martín (1991a) erroneously placed E. heterosetoides in the subgenus Parexogone .</p><p>Distribution. Australia (Western Australia, South Australia, New South Wales).</p><p>Habitat. Common on all shallow bottoms: algae, sand, seagrass, dead corals, mud, etc; intertidal to 33 m depth.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/1C7B8784FFBEB02812B7B1B076E4FB17	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

AUSTRALIA: WESTERN AUSTRALIA. 1 specimen, AM W26666, jetty adjacent to Fisheries Hut, Beacon Island, 28°25.5'S 113°47.0'E, dead coral with plate-like species ( Acropora and Montipora), 12 m, P.A. Hutchings, 23 May 1994. 5 specimens, AM W26667, east side of West Wallabi Island, 28°27.9'S 113°40.9'E, in Posidonia australis root mat, plus epifauna, 2 m, P.A. Hutchings, 26 May 1994.</p><p>Additional material. Santa Cruz Island, Galápagos Islands, 2 specimens, W. Westheide. Coiba National Park, Panamá, Granito de Oro Island, intertidal coarse sand, 13 specimens.</p><p>Description. Both Australian specimens anterior fragments, about 22 chaetigers, one specimen is a mature male with natatory chaetae; complete specimens from Panamá 2.9 mm long, 0.2 mm wide, 33 chaetigers. Body long and slender, filiform. Prostomium square to oval, wider than long; 4 large eyes nearly in rectangular arrangement. Antennae inserted between anterior pair of eyes, close to each other; median antenna long, slightly thick, cylindrical, similar in length to prostomium and palps together or slightly longer; lateral antennae small, ovoid (Fig. 77A). Palps slightly longer than prostomium, fused all their length, with a distinct dorsal furrow, with a distal notch. Peristomium shorter than following segments, covering posterior margin of prostomium; tentacular cirri small, papilliform. Dorsal cirri ovoid, small, shorter than parapodial lobes, present on all segments (Fig. 77A). Parapodia of chaetiger 1 with 1, sometimes 2, shafts of compound chaetae enlarged, forming a large, stout, triangular process near tips; process covered by small, short spines on distal side of that process (Figs. 77B,C,D), blades relatively short, with moderate long marginal spines, distally bifid, about 14 µm long; in addition about 5–6 compound chaetae with shafts distally slightly enlarged, hemigomph articulations, and a few thin spines, and blades short, about 4–5 µm long, distal tooth slightly shorter than sub-distal tooth, and few thin, moderately long marginal spines (Fig. 77E). Remaining anteriormost parapodia with similar falcigers, and unmodified spinigerlike chaetae. Anterior and midbody parapodia each with solitary spiniger-like chaetae; shafts provided with short spines, and blades relatively short, indistinctly bidentate, with short marginal spines (Fig. 77G), 26 µm long, and 3– 4 falcigers, shafts distally slightly enlarged and provided with short spines, and small blades, smooth or provided with short marginal spines (Fig. 77H) similar in length to those of most anterior parapodia. Posterior parapodia of the fragments each with a similar spiniger-like chaetae, with slender blade, apparently unidentate, with minute marginal spines (Fig. 77J), 20 µm long, in addition 3 compound falcigers with short, small, smooth blades, distal tooth small (Fig. 77K), about 4 µm long. Dorsal simple chaetae from chaetiger 2, with rounded tips and finely spinulose subterminally (Fig. 77F,I). Ventral simple chaetae not seen. Acicula solitary, distally rounded (Fig. 77L). Pharynx long, through 5 segments; pharyngeal tooth on anterior margin (Fig. 77A). Proventricle similar in length to pharynx, through 4–5 segments, with 33–38 muscle cell rows.</p><p>Remarks. The original description omits the presence of compound spiniger-like chaetae with modified shafts on chaetiger 1; the examined specimens from Galápagos Islands, however, have them as do the Australian specimens and those from Panamá. The figured specimen of the original description (Westheide, 1974, fig. 54A) shows a shorter proventricle and a longer median antenna than those of the Australian specimens; the examined specimen from Galápagos and those from Panamá have a long proventricle, and some specimens have shorter median antenna than others, suggesting that they all represent a single species. Exogone (E.) rostrata Naville, 1933, from the Mediterranean Sea, and the Canary and Madeira Islands, is apparently morphologically identical (see Alós et al., 1983; San Martín, 1984a, 2003; Pascual &amp; Núñez, 1999). It could be a circumtropical species or a complex of similar species; until this problem has been resolved I am retaining the name longicornis for the Pacific specimens.</p><p>Distribution. Galápagos Islands. Pacific coast of Panamá. Australia (Western Australia).</p><p>Habitat. Interstitial in coarse sand; in dead corals.

Springthorpe, 6 Jan 1984.</p><p>Description. Body long, slender, filiform, holotype incomplete, 2.5 mm long, 0.4 mm wide, 26 chaetigers; longest paratype 3 mm long for 35 chaetigers. Prostomium oval, wider than long; 4 eyes in trapezoidal arrangement. Antennae small, originating close to each other near middle of anterior margin of prostomium (Figs. 80A, 81B); lateral antennae papilliform, median antenna about twice as long as lateral antennae (Figs. 80A, 81B). Palps long, broad, fused along their length, with a dorsal furrow and a distal notch (Figs. 80A, 81B). Peristomium similar in length to following segments, covering dorsal posterior part of prostomium; tentacular cirri minute, smaller than lateral antennae. Dorsal cirri ovoid, shorter than parapodial lobes, similar in size to lateral antennae, present on all segments (Figs. 80A, 81B). Anteriormost 6 chaetigers each with 5–6 compound falcigers, blades with subdistal tooth long and wide, distal tooth small, marginally smooth, shafts provided with long spines (Fig. 80C), blades about 6 µm long, without spinigerlike chaetae. From about chaetiger 7 posteriorly, parapodia each with 1 compound spiniger-like chaeta, with short, unidentate blade, 7–8 µm long, with long marginal spines (Fig. 80F), and 3 falcigers similar to those of anterior parapodia but shorter (Fig. 80G), 2–3 µm long; shafts of all compound chaetae provided with long, fine subdistal spines. Progressively posteriorly, both shafts and blades become less spinose; posterior parapodia each with 1 compound spiniger-like chaeta, with filiform, minute, smooth blade and distally enlarged, nearly smooth shaft (Fig. 80I), and 2 falcigers, with smooth shafts and minute blades (Fig. 80J). Dorsal simple chaetae from anterior parapodia, smooth, bidentate, subdistal tooth long and distal tooth minute (Fig. 80B), thicker and provided with relatively longer distal tooth posteriorly (Fig. 80E,H). Ventral simple chaetae on posterior parapodia, sigmoid, smooth, similar to posterior dorsal simple chaetae (Fig. 80K). Acicula solitary, slender, distally rounded (Fig. 80D). Pharynx short and relatively wide, through 3 segments; lateral muscles of pharynx distinct, giving appearance of one gland on each side (Fig. 80A); pharyngeal tooth wide and long (Fig. 80A). Proventricle short, through 2 segments, with 18 muscle cell rows. Pygidium with 2 long anal cirri (Fig. 81D).</p><p>Remarks. Apparently, Exogone (E.) goorapuranga n.sp. resembles E. naidina; it lacks, however, compound chaetae with modified blades on anteriormost parapodia, and the shafts of compound chaetae have long, hair-like spines. Probably, some records of E. (E.) naidina from Australia should be referred to Exogone (E.) goorapuranga .</p><p>Distribution. Australia (Queensland, Western Australia).</p><p>Habitat. On fine to coarse sediment, inside dead corals, algae; intertidal to 33 m depth.</p><p>Etymology. The name of the species is derived from the combination of two Aboriginal words, goora which means, amongst others, long, and puranga, which means hairs, in reference to the long hairs or spines on shafts of compound chaetae.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/1C7B8784FFB5B02F11C9B7D7779EFE23	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Body long, slender, filiform, 3.8–4 mm long, 0.2 mm wide, 40 chaetigers. Prostomium oval to rectangular, about 2.5 times wider than long; 4 large eyes in trapezoidal arrangement, anterior pair slightly larger than posterior pair; antennae located close to each other, between anterior eyes (Fig. 82A); median antenna cylindrical, shorter than prostomium, lateral antennae shorter, slightly more than ½ the length of median antenna (Fig. 82A). Palps broad, fused along their length, relatively short, slightly longer than prostomium. Peristomium distinct; tentacular cirri small, papilliform. Dorsal cirri longer than tentacular cirri, similar in length to lateral antennae, slightly pyriform (Fig. 82A), present on all segments. Anteriormost 2–3 parapodia each with about 8 compound chaetae, heterogomph, with long subdistal spines on shafts, and falcigerous blades, 1–2 dorsalmost chaetae with blades provided with indistinct distal tooth and long subdistal tooth, moderately long marginal spines and about 12–13 µm long, remaining compound chaetae with blades slightly shorter, 11–10 µm long, with shorter marginal spines and distal tooth slightly longer than those of dorsalmost ones (Fig. 82C). On parapodia of following 3–5 segments dorsalmost 1–2 compound chaetae have slightly elongate blades, about 15 µm long, with moderately long marginal spines; the remaining 6–7 compound chaetae with blades similar to those of anteriormost parapodia but slightly longer, about 12 µm long (Fig. 82D). Progressively posteriorly, 1–2 dorsalmost elongate falcigers transformed to spiniger-like chaetae, with spinose shafts, unidentate, filiform blades, provided with long marginal spines (Fig. 82F), blades about 34 µm long in midbody; remaining falcigers similar to those of anterior parapodia, but shorter (Fig. 82G), blades about 10 µm above, 8 µm below, numbering 3 on midbody segments. Posterior parapodia each with 1 compound spiniger-like chaetae, with filiform, nearly smooth blade (Fig. 82I), 19 µm long, and 2, sometimes 3, falcigers, with nearly smooth shafts and short, smooth blades, about 5 µm long (Fig. 82J). Dorsal simple chaetae from anterior parapodia, sometimes from chaetiger 1, with rounded tips and finely spinulose subterminally (Fig. 82E), thicker posteriorly (Fig. 82H). Ventral simple chaetae on posterior parapodia, sigmoid, smooth, with small distal tooth and longer subdistal tooth (Fig. 82K). Pharynx long, through about 5–6 segments; pharyngeal tooth located on anterior rim, surrounded by 10 soft papillae and a dense crown of long cilia (Fig. 82B). Proventricle similar in length to pharynx, through about 4–5 segments, with 32 muscle cell rows. Pygidium with 2 long anal cirri.</p><p>Remarks. Exogone (E.) arrakatarkoola n.sp. is characterized by the progressive elongation of blades of 1 or 2 dorsalmost compound chaetae of anterior parapodia to spiniger-like blades. Exogone (E.) naidina and E. (E.) goorapuranga also lack spiniger-like chaetae on anteriormost parapodia but Exogone (E.) arrakatarkoola has a much longer proventricle than either of these two species, lacks compound chaetae with modified blades on anteriormost parapodia, characteristic of Exogone (E.) naidina, and long spines on shafts of compound chaetae, present in E. (E.) goorapuranga .</p><p>Distribution. Australia (Queensland).</p><p>Habitat. Interstitial in fine to coarse sediment.</p><p>Etymology. The specific name is derived from a combination of two Aboriginal words, arkoola, meaning hair, and arrakata meaning mouth, in reference to the long cilia or “hairs” on the pharynx opening.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/1C7B8784FFB7B02E11CCB5D47048F987	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Body small, slender, filiform, 3.3 mm long, 0.14 mm wide, 29 chaetigers; lateral lobes of nuchal organs usually dark to black, distinct (Fig. 87A). Prostomium oval; 4 eyes in trapezoidal to rectangular arrangement; antennae minute, inserted close to each other near anterior margin of prostomium, ovoid, median antenna slightly longer than lateral antennae (Fig. 87A). Palps broad, longer than prostomium, fused along their length, with a distinct dorsal furrow, with distal notch (Fig. 87A). Peristomium small, dorsally covered by chaetiger 1; tentacular cirri similar both in shape and length to antennae. Dorsal cirri ovoid, longer than antennae, shorter than parapodial lobes or similar in length, present on all segments (Fig. 87A). Anterior parapodia each with 1 compound chaeta, shaft distally provided with long spines of which one distinctly longer, and short, smooth, unidentate blade, about 18 µm long (Fig. 87D); in addition 3 falcigers with spinose shafts and short, smooth blades, with distal tooth indistinct and long subdistal tooth (Fig. 87E), about 4–5 µm long. Midbody parapodia each with solitary compound spiniger-like chaeta, similar to those of anterior parapodia (Fig. 87F), and 2 compound falcigers with spinose shafts, one spine longer than others, and blades short, usually one of them provided with very small distal tooth and one without distal tooth (Fig. 87G). Posterior parapodia each with a single spiniger-like compound chaeta, similar to those of midbody (Fig. 87J) and solitary compound falciger, with blade short, smooth and without distal tooth (Fig. 87K).

Ventral simple chaetae on posterior parapodia, thick, sigmoid, bidentate, subdistal tooth long and broad, distal tooth small (Fig. 87I). Pygidium semi-circular, with 2 short anal cirri, longer than dorsal cirri (Fig. 87B) and a distal papilla. Pharynx through 2 segments; pharyngeal tooth on anterior rim (Fig. 87A). Proventricle small, occupying only one segment, nearly rounded, with about 12 muscle cell rows.</p><p>Remarks. This species is characterized by its small size, minute, papilliform antennae located on anterior margin of prostomium and short proventricle. The dark lateral lobes of the nuchal organs (see Lewbart &amp; Riser, 1996) are more distinct in some specimens and almost indistinct in others.</p><p>Exogone (E.) koorenborongi n.sp. is similar to Exogone (E.) goorapuranga, described above; that species, however, has a longer median antenna, lacks spiniger-like compound chaetae on anteriormost parapodia, and the chaetae, both compound and simple, are different. Also Exogone (E.) koorenborongi is similar to Exogone (E.) naidina, and it is possible that some records of that species in Australia should be referred to Exogone (E.) koorenborongi .</p><p>Distribution. Australia (Western Australia).</p><p>Habitat. Inside dead corals, 8–30 m depth.</p><p>Etymology. The specific name comes from combining two Aboriginal words: kooren meaning neck, and borongi meaning dark, in reference to the dark lobes of the nuchal organs.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/1C7B8784FF8DB01411CAB4827680FAE6	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Parapodia each with 1 compound chaeta with short, slender, unidentate, smooth or nearly smooth, spiniger-like blade, spinose shafts slightly different on midbody and posterior segments (Figs. 88C,G,K); in addition 5 falcigers on anterior parapodia reduced to only 2 on posterior parapodia; falcigers with distally spinose shafts and minute, sometimes indistinct, smooth, bidentate blades with subdistal tooth longer than distal tooth (Figs. 88E,H,L), slightly longer on anterior parapodia, about 5 µm, than on posterior ones, 3 µm long. Dorsal simple chaetae from anterior parapodia, with rounded tips and finely spinulose subterminally, slender on anterior parapodia (Fig. 88D), thicker, unidentate, with less spines posteriorly (Fig. 88F,J). Ventral simple chaetae on posterior parapodia, sigmoid, unidentate, provided with short, small spines above (Fig. 88M). Acicula solitary, distally rounded (Fig. 88I). Pygidium semi-circular, with 2 long anal cirri (Fig. 88B). Pharynx through 4–5 segments; pharyngeal tooth conical, acute, long, longer than median antenna (Fig. 88A). Proventricle through 4–5 segments, with about 21 muscle cell rows.</p><p>Remarks. Exogone (E.) marisae Pascual, Núñez &amp; San Martín, 1996, from Canary Islands have the falcigers similar, with short blades, encased in spinose shafts, but the antennae are inserted more anteriorly on the prostomium, the proventricle is shorter, and the dorsal simple chaetae have aristae (Pascual et al., 1996).</p><p>Distribution. Australia (New South Wales).</p><p>Habitat. On shallow hard substrates.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/1C7B8784FF8CB01412B5B1897094F85D	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Body long, slender, filiform, 3.7 mm long, 0.17 mm wide, 46 chaetigers. Prostomium ovate, wider than long; 4 eyes in trapezoidal arrangement. Antennae small, papilliform to ovate, inserted close to each other, between or slightly in front of anterior eyes, median antenna slightly longer than lateral antennae (Figs. 81E, 89A). Palps longer than prostomium, completely fused along their length, with a dorsal furrow and a distal notch, forming a triangular piece (Figs. 81E, 89A). Peristomium similar in length to following segments or slightly shorter; tentacular cirri minute, papilliform. Dorsal cirri small, similar to lateral antennae, present on all segments (Figs. 81E, 89A). Anterior and midbody parapodia each with one compound chaeta, spiniger-like, bifid blade, with hemigomph articulation, shaft provided with long, subdistal spines; blade provided with long to moderate marginal spines, about 22–23 µm long (Fig. 89C), and 4 compound, heterogomph falcigers, shafts provided with long subdistal spines, and short blades, provided with long subdistal tooth and short distal tooth, and moderately long marginal spines (Fig. 89D), 10–12 µm long. Posteriorly compound chaetae becoming less spinose; numbers decreasing to 1 compound spiniger-like (Fig. 89G) and 2 falcigers (Fig. 89H) on posterior parapodia. Dorsal simple chaetae from anterior parapodia, usually from chaetiger 1, slender, with rounded tips and finely spinulose subterminally (Fig. 89B), progressively thicker posteriorly, bidentate, with long subdistal tooth and short distal tooth (Fig. 89E). Ventral simple chaetae on posterior parapodia, sigmoid, smooth, bidentate with long subdistal tooth and short distal tooth (Fig. 89F). Solitary acicula, slender, distally rounded (Fig. 89I). Pharynx through 4 segments; pharyngeal tooth on anterior rim (Fig. 89A). Proventricle short, through 2 segments, with about 17 muscle cell rows.</p><p>Remarks. Small, young specimens of E. (E.) africana can easily be confused with specimens of E. (E.) breviantennata; the latter, however, is more slender proportionally, with shorter proventricle, and the compound chaetae are more distinctly spinose. Furthermore, E. (E.) breviantennata is only present in tropical areas, and E. (E.) africana is distributed all around Australia, but appears to be less abundant in tropical waters.</p><p>Distribution. Presumably circumtropical. Australia (Queensland, Western Australia).</p><p>Habitat. Present on all kinds of substrates, from fine to coarse sand, algae, seagrasses, inside dead corals, sponges. Intertidal to about 49 m depth.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/1C7B8784FF8FB016134FB073705AF850	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply. See Agosti, D., Egloff, W., 2009.

Prostomium ovate to semicircular; 4 eyes in trapezoidal arrangement.Antennae longer than palps and longer than prostomium but shorter than prostomium and palps together, cylindrical to claviform, slightly enlarged distally, inserted separately near anterior margin of prostomium (Fig. 95A); median antenna slightly longer than lateral antennae. Palps broad, relatively short, similar in length to prostomium or shorter. Peristomium slightly shorter than following segments; tentacular cirri minute, papilliform (Fig. 95A). Dorsal cirri ovoid, small, longer than tentacular cirri, absent on chaetiger 2 (Fig. 95A). Parapodia each with 3–4, occasionally up to 6, compound chaetae with distally spinose shafts and filiform, smooth, unidentate blades; blades partially fused to shafts (Fig. 95E), 12–8 µm long. Dorsal simple chaetae from anterior parapodia, distally provided with several spines, ending in acute tip, with a subdistal tooth (Fig. 95D). Ventral simple chaetae on posterior parapodia, sigmoid, smooth on margin, with acute tip, provided with subdistal spines surrounding tip, one longer and thicker than others (Fig. 95C). Acicula solitary, distally enlarged. Pharynx through 3 segments; pharyngeal tooth on anterior rim (Fig. 95A). Proventricle through 2 segments, with 14–16 muscle cell rows. Pygidium with 2 long anal cirri (Fig. 95B).</p><p>Remarks. The species E. spinisetosa appears to be synonymous with this species; material identified as E. spinisetosa by Hartmann-Schröder (HZM P-18805), previously examined, are identical with E. fustifera.</p><p>Distribution. Australia (all States).</p><p>Habitat. Present on all substrates on intertidal and shallow waters.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/1C7B8784FF85B01F11E8B73577ABF9A6	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
