Descriptions(1)

Distribution: PA, NA, NT, AU Habitat: ES Comments: The widespread distribution of this species on both the east and west coasts of North America, South America, Japan and in Europe suggests that multiple species have been reported under this name and / or human-assisted introductions have occurred. The species is reported to contain both boring and non-boring populations (Blake 1971; Sato-Okoshi 2000). Additional references: D. Karlen, pers. comm. (Tampa Bay survey)

Catalogue of non-marine Polychaeta (Annelida) of the World

checklist

This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Glasby, Christopher J., Timm, Tarmo, Muir, Alexander I., Gil, João (2009): Catalogue of non-marine Polychaeta (Annelida) of the World. Zootaxa 2070: 1-52, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.187085

Abstract

An annotated checklist and bibliography of 197 species (representing 78 genera and 26 families) of non-marine polychaetes of the world is presented, including synonymies, information on ecology, distribution, habitat, and references to the taxonomic and biological literature. Over half (57%) of the checklist species are represented by just three families as follows: Nereididae (61 species including Namanereis, Namalycastis, Neanthes and Hediste), Aeolosomatidae (27 species, mostly Aeolosoma) and Sabellidae (24 species including Caobangia and Manayunkia). Other well-represented taxa are the epizoic histriobdellid Stratiodrilus (11 species), the inland-sea-specialist ampharetid Hypania and related genera (5 species), and the freshwater-tolerant spionid Marenzelleria (5 species). One new combination is proposed for the nereidid Nereis tenuipalpa Pflugfelder, 1933, viz. Paraleonnates tenuipalpa n. comb.
