(coll. BM); 30.08.2004 (2 specs.) (coll. BM); 0 2.12.2004 (PMR-14556, 3 specs.; PMR-14557, 3 specs.).</p><p>Description of Adriatic Sea specimens. Complete specimens range from 12 to 18 mm in length and 1.2 to 0.7 mm in width; body tapering posteriorly with segments becoming increasingly shorter and crowded towards pygidium. Prostomium compact; tentacular membrane surrounding mouth, with many long buccal tentacles with expanded tips. SGI forming an expanded structure below tentacular membrane. Lateral lappets on SGIII–VIII (CH 1–6) (Fig. 2 a) being larger and continuing ventrally on SG III to VI, declining in size posteriorly. No conspicuous dorsal rounded projection in anterior chaetigers or oval-shaped glandular region in CH 3.</p><p>Branchiae arising as single structure from SGIII, consisting of single stalked structure located mid-dorsally (Figs 2 a, 3a) made up of two posterior pairs of lobes fused along less than one third of their length; lower pair slightly shorter than upper pair. Pointed projection of posterior region of lobes present in lower lobes. Anterior branchial projection (fifth lobe) not conspicuous. Both sides of branchial lamellae provided with several parallel bent rows of cilia and outer tufts of cilia (Figs 2 b, c; 3b). Branchial lamellae less tightly packed than in the other two Adriatic species.</p><p>Eighteen pairs of thoracic notopodia (SGIII–XX). Notopodia and notochaetae of first chaetiger not visible in some specimens (Fig. 2 a, d); chaetae present only in larger specimens but much shorter than on subsequent notopodia (Fig. 3 a). Neuropodia present as sessile pinnules from CH 6 (SGVIII) to pygidium and provided with uncini in single rows throughout (Fig. 4 a). The absence of notochaetae in first chaetiger in most specimens may lead to the erroneous observation that first neuropodium is located on CH 5 instead of CH 6. First thoracic neuropodia provided with 5 – 7 sharply bent, acute tipped, geniculate acicular hooks (Fig. 3 c). Minute teeth forming a capitium on geniculate chaetae not observed. Second and all subsequent thoracic neuropodia with up to 7–10 uncini per torus (Fig. 4 a). Uncini provided with long shafted denticulate hooks with 2 – 4 teeth above main fang surmounted by 4 – 5 shorter teeth and an upper crest of several smaller denticles (Fig. 4 b), dental formula MF:2– 4:4–5:∞.</p><p>Between 30−32 abdominal neuropodia as erect pinnules provided with about 22 uncini per torus (Fig. 4 c); uncini with 5 teeth above main fang surmounted by a crest of 4–5 shorter teeth and a variable number of smaller teeth (Fig. 4 d); dental formula MF:5:4–5:∞. Pygidium blunt, funnel-like depression.</p><p>One large, button-hole like nephridial opening on each notopodium of CH 4 and CH 5 (Fig. 3 d).</p><p>MG staining pattern 2 (Figs 12 b, 13a): compact green colouration in CH 1 – 10, quickly fading in following segments. CH 1 – 3 slightly and CH 4 much less stained than anterior and posterior ones. Colour in alcohol pale brown with four anterior thoracic chaetigers ventrally white (Fig. 13 b).</p><p>Remarks. Hansson (1998) proposed to recover T. gracilis from the synonymy of T. stroemii due to the presence of four white ventrally colored thoracic segments (SGIII–VI; CH 1–4) in T. gracilis . Following this opinion, Parapar et al. (2011) redescribed the species from material collected in the BIOICE project in Iceland and proposed also T. williamsae Jirkov, 1989 as a junior synonym.</p><p>Terebellides gracilis was until now found in the Norwegian and Barents Seas (Malm 1874; Jirkov 1989) and Iceland (Parapar et al. 2011). Our Mediterranean records extend the range of the species into quite different ecological conditions compared to those where it was recorded so far. However, the finding of this species in the Northern Adriatic Sea is not so surprising and it supports the strong boreal affinity of this region, as well as its ecological and biogeographical similarities with the North Atlantic, which have previously been documented (Bianchi et al. 2004; Boero &amp; Bonsdorff 2007). The Adriatic Sea is the northernmost Mediterranean region and together with the Gulf of Lions and the Northern Aegean Sea the coldest sector of the Mediterranean. It is geomorphologically, hydrographically and biogeographically a peculiar Mediterranean region with lower average temperatures that allow the presence of a specific flora and fauna with cold water affinities (Mikac &amp; Musco 2010). Our research showed that Adriatic specimens of T. gracilis are slightly shorter than boreo-arctic specimens. This feature could be a morphological variability due to the different ecological conditions in which specimens are living. Further molecular analyses could possibly assist to clarify this phenomenon.</p><p>Adriatic specimens are slightly shorter (12–18 vs 10–25 mm) and have less abdominal chaetigers (30–32 vs. about 43) and less uncini (22 vs. 45) than boreo-arctic specimens. Also, the chaetae from first thoracic chaetiger are less conspicuous than in Icelandic specimens and the dental formula of thoracic uncini differs, with two teeth surmounting the main fang in North Atlantic specimens (MF:2:5:∞) but 2−4 in Adriatic ones (MF:2−4:4−5:∞).</p><p>The staining pattern coincides with one of the Icelandic specimens although Parapar et al. (2011) erroneously reported pattern 4 for those specimens instead of 2 (Parapar et al. 2011, page 19, Table 1).</p><p>Habitat. Found at shelf depths (385–390 m) in Scandinavian and Russian waters (Jirkov, 1989; 2001; Hansson, 1998). North and South coast of Iceland; 68 to 2076 meters depth (Parapar et al., 2011). In the Adriatic Sea the species was found on the offshore station in silty sand at 31 m.</p><p>Distribution. Norwegian Sea and Barents Sea (Malm 1874; Jirkov 1989); Iceland (Parapar et al. 2011) and Adriatic Sea. Our finding in the Adriatic Sea represents the first record of this species in the Mediterranean Sea, and considerably expands the southern boundary of this species.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/038B0C19FFFFFF8B3FC4B4340A7CFC0C	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Hutchings who kindly checked the paratype of this species deposited in the Australian Museum (Sydney) (AM).</p><p>Description based on holotype. Complete specimen, 23 mm long and 2.0 mm wide; body tapering posteriorly with segments increasingly shorter and crowded towards pygidium. Prostomium compact; large tentacular membrane surrounding the mouth provided with many long buccal tentacles with expanded tips (Fig. 5 a, 8a).

All notochaetae simple capillaries with textured surface (Fig. 6 c). Neuropodia present as sessile pinnules from CH 6 (SGVIII) to pygidium and provided with uncini in single rows starting from CH 7 (SGIX) throughout. First thoracic neuropodia (CH 6) provided with 4–5 sharply bent, acute tipped, geniculate acicular hooks (Fig. 6 d). Minute teeth forming a capitium on geniculate chaetae not observed. Second and all subsequent thoracic neuropodia with up to 10–16 uncini per torus (Fig. 7 a).

Colour in alcohol pale brown (Fig. 13 b).</p><p>Remarks. The presence of large notopodia provided with long notochaetae in the first thoracic chaetiger is a character usually employed to discriminate species in taxonomic keys of the genus Terebellides (Garraffoni &amp; Lana 2003; Solis-Weiss et al. 2009) and also in phylogenetic studies (Garraffoni &amp; Lana 2004). Following Hutchings and Peart (2000) two species have this diagnostic character: T. kobei Hessle, 1917 and T. californica Williams, 1984 .</p><p>Terebellides kobei was described by Hessle (1917) from specimens collected in Kobe Bay (Japan), later reported from the same area by Imajima and Hartman (1964) and described in more detail by Imajima and Williams (1985). Surprisingly, this work ignores the record of Williams (1984) in the Indian Ocean (Mozambique Channel) probably due to simultaneous date of publication. Our specimens clearly differ from T. kobei in having notopodia and notochaetae of CH 1 much longer (similar to Williams’ material), by the absence of a conspicuous triangular lobe and a glandular area at the level of notopodia of CH 3 (Table 1) and by the similar length and high degree of fusion of posterior branchial lobes (see also Hutchings &amp; Peart 2000, Table 3A).</p><p>Terebellides californica was described by Williams (1984) from the Pacific Ocean (Oregon to Western Mexico) at shelf and slope depths, and later reported from the same area by Hernández-Alcántara and Solís-Weiss (1999) and Hilbig (2000). Hernández-Alcántara and Solís-Weiss (1998) report T. californica for the Mexican Caribbean but we suspect that this may correspond to other species with large CH 1 as well. Williams (1984) characterized the taxon only by the “very well developed first chaetiger with greatly prolonged fine notosetae” (Williams 1984, p. 128). The species was later redescribed by Hilbig (2000) proposing a “trilobed structure of the peristomium” as potential new diagnostic character. This character was not observed in our specimens, but in our opinion its relevance should be taken with caution as its presence in the species has not been sufficiently assessed. Terebellides mediterranea spec. nov., differs from T. californica in branchial structure in addition to their very different geographical location—shelf and slope depths of the Pacific Ocean in T. californica vs. shallow waters in the Adriatic Sea in T. mediterranea spec. nov. In this sense, in T. mediterranea spec. nov., a large fifth branchial lobe is present and posterior pairs of lobes (first to fourth lobes) are fused along most of their lengths while T. californica lacks a fifth branchial lobe and posterior pairs of lobes are moderately fused (Hutchings &amp; Peart 2000; Schüller &amp; Hutchings 2010).</p><p>Habitat. Offshore stations in the northern Adriatic Sea on silty sand bottom on 31 m depth. Known only from type locality.</p><p>Distribution. Adriatic Sea.</p><p>Etymology.

Prostomium compact; tentacular membrane surrounding mouth and provided with buccal tentacles with expanded tips. First segment forming an expanded structure below tentacular membrane. Lateral lappets on SGIII–IX (CH 1–7) (Fig. 9 a, b). Some specimens with more or less conspicuous dorsal rounded projection in CH 4 – 6.

Branchiae provided with papillar projections pointing over the edge of the branchial lamellae, the latter also provided with several parallel bent rows of cilia on both sides (Fig. 9 c–d).</p><p>Eighteen pairs of thoracic notopodia (SGIII −XX). Notopodia and notochaetae of CH 1 shorter in size to subsequent notopodia. Neuropodia present as sessile pinnules from CH 6 (SGVIII) to pygidium and provided with uncini in single rows throughout. First thoracic neuropodia (CH 6) with 4−5 sharply bent, acute tipped, geniculate acicular hooks (Fig. 10 a). Minute teeth forming a capitium on geniculate chaetae not observed (Fig. 10 b).

General characteristics of Adriatic specimens agree with those of Icelandic specimens identified as T. stroemii sensu Holthe (1986a) by Parapar et al.

(2011) are the MG coloration pattern and the distribution of branchial ciliature.</p><p>Habitat. The species was reported in a wide range of depths and temperatures in all world oceans, nevertheless, it is impossible to establish with confidence any habitat preferences given that today, it is considered a complex of species. Terebellides stroemii was frequently reported in all parts of the Adriatic Sea on soft bottoms up to a depth of 1,150 m and was considered a species of wide ecological distribution. In this research the species was found in the northern Adriatic Sea on offshore stations on silty sand bottom at 31 m depth and on coastal stations on muddy bottom at 28–29 m depth.</p><p>Distribution. Boreo-Arctic waters (Hutchings &amp; Peart 2000). Our record in the Adriatic Sea confirms the presence of T. stroemii in Mediterranean waters.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/038B0C19FFF4FF853FC4B3090BA8F8A4	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
