Body pale brownish, without pigmentation (Figure 3A). Prostomium with anterior and posterior lobes; anterior lobe expanded, rounded, larger than posterior one. Anterior lobe with lateral antennae, bi-articulated, located anteriorly. A pair of slightly bi-articulated palps located on posterolateral part of anterior lobe. Two pairs of eyes; anterior pair larger, almost crescent-shaped, posterior pair spherical, concealed by chaetiger 1 (Figure 3A). Median antenna smaller than laterals, located between posterior pair of eyes. Caruncle absent. Parapodia biramous with notopodial and neuropodial cirri; notopodial cirri similar in size throughout. Branchiae present between chaetigers 3 and 8 (rarely 7). Anterior branchiae with six to eight filaments, posterior branchiae with three to four filaments. Notopodia with two types of chaetae; serrated capillary chaeta with a minute spur and harpoon chaeta. Harpoon chaetae weakly denticulated, becoming numerous towards posterior end. Neuropodia with two types of chaetae; serrated capillary chaeta with a long basal spur and furcate chaeta. In anterior parapodia, serrated capillary chaetae with a long basal spur relatively coarsely serrated along its cutting edge, numbering 30; maximally 400 µm long (distance from spur to tip) (Figure 3C). Furcate chaetae numbering five or six on anterior neuropodia; long tine, coarsely serrated distally, 21 µm long; short tine 5 µm long (Figure 3C). In posterior parapodia, middle part of furcate chaetae enlarged (Figure 3B). Pygidium rounded, without cirri.</p><p>Remarks</p><p>The genus  Linopherus de Quatrefages, 1865, also known as  Pseudeurythoe Fauvel, 1932 (junior synonym), was represented by only one species ( L. acarunculata) in the Mediterranean Sea. This species was first reported on the coast of Lebanon by Laubier (1966) and subsequently on the Israeli coast by Ben-Eliahu (1976) and on the Turkish coast by Ergen and Çinar (1997). The main diagnostic feature of  L. acarunculata is that branchiae are first present on chaetiger 4. In  L. canariensis, branchiae commence from chaetiger 3. I re-examined specimens of  Linopherus collected from the Levantine and Aegean Seas, and confirmed that all specimens belonged to  L. canariensis, not  L. acarunculata . Therefore, previous reports of  L. acarunculata from the eastern Mediterranean should be re-examined to determine whether  L. acarunculata really occurs in the Mediterranean.</p><p>Distribution</p><p>This species was previously reported from the eastern and western parts of the Atlantic Ocean (Núñez et al. 1991). It is new to the Mediterranean fauna. As it has not been reported from the western Mediterranean and the Red Sea, it could have been introduced to the area in the ballast waters of ships from the Atlantic Ocean.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03BF3042C870FFE48EFE9D86FF09200E	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

In the Mediterranean, it was first reported from the Lebanon on an encrusted cliff at 4–8 m (Aguado and San Martín 2007). As it occurs in the Red Sea and Suez Canal, it could be considered as a Lessepsian migrant.

Body pale brownish; two or three transverse brownish bars on dorsum of segments between peristomium and chaetiger 38. Prostomium globular, as long as wide, with a pair of nuchal organs placed posterolaterally, with well-developed buccal lips ventrally (Figure 5A,B). Peristomium shorter than prostomium. All parapodia well developed, especially between chaetigers 4 and 25; prechaetal lobe short, rounded; postchaetal lobe well developed, digitiform. Dorsal cirri short, present on all parapodia, with one to three notoaciculae. Composite multidentate hooded hooks numbering two per parapodium, present from chaetigers 1 to 20, with short blades (ca. 30 µm), with up to 10 distal teeth of similar size (Figure 5C). Simple multidentate hooded hooks from chaetiger 21 to last chaetiger, numbering three per parapodium, with up to eight teeth; proximal tooth bigger than others (Figure 5D). Limbate chaetae numbering four per parapodium, from chaetiger 1 to 36 (Figure 5E). Aciculae yellow, aristate, numbering three in anterior parapodia, one in posterior ones. Pygidium with terminal anus, with two pairs of anal cirri; dorsal cirri slightly longer that ventral cirri. Mandible divided for about half its length. Five pairs of maxillae; maxillary carriers shorter than MI, anterior end constricted. MI forceps-like with attachment lamella well developed. MII as long as MI, with five, triangular teeth. MIII with four teeth, proximal tooth shortest (Figure 5F). MIV bidentate, distal tooth longer than proximal (Figure 5F). MV free, prominent, lateral to MIV and MIII.</p><p>Distribution</p><p>Lumbrineris perkinsi was only known from the western Atlantic (Caribbean region) and eastern Pacific (Panama) Oceans (Carrera-Parra 2006). Before the original description of this species, it was previously reported from the Mediterranean as  Lumbrineris inflata by Giangrande et al. (1981), who collected it from the Ischia Harbour (Tyrrhenian Sea, western Mediterranean). The figures (especially Figure 5B, maxillary apparatus of  L. inflata) and descriptions of the specimens identified as  L. inflata by Giangrande et al. (1981) match with the original description of  L. perkinsi . As the first identification of  L. perkinsi took place in the Mediterranean Sea (under the name  L. inflata), it is impossible to reach a clear conclusion as to whether this species is native or alien to the Mediterranean. However, the dense populations of it on the southern coast of Turkey and the single record from the western Mediterranean might indicate that this species was introduced to the Mediterranean from the Suez Canal. However, its occurrence in the Indo-Pacific area should be checked.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03BF3042C865FFF98EBB9BE4FE4421AC	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Peristomium large, two or three times larger than anterior segments. Each segment with two ciliary bands. Chaetiger 1 without notopodia, without dorsal cirri, with thick ventral cirri. Subsequent chaetigers with slender dorsal cirri, extending slightly beyond parapodial lobes; with internal acicula; cirrophores large, subrectangular, almost three times longer than cirrostyles; cirrostyles subtriangular. Neuropodia of chaetiger 1 with rudimentary subtriangular pre- and postchaetal lobes. Neuropodia of anterior chaetigers well developed, with bifid prechaetal lobe and distally pointed postchaetal lobe. Posterior neuropodia becoming slender, with pointed pre- and postchaetal lobes. Supra-acicular neurochaetae with two types; one placed most superiorly, numbering two per fascicle, simple, slen- der, serrate with bidentate tip (Figure 6B); other numbering two or three per fascicle, simple, cultriform, serrated subdistally, with bidentate tip (Figure 6D); furcate chaeta absent. Subacicular part of parapodia with 10 falcigers; blades strongly bidentate, 20–12.5 µm long, with thin spines along cutting edge, with thin hoods; shafts densely serrated (Figure 6C). Notopodial aciculum slender, neuropodial aciculum simple, stout. Posterior parapodia with one cultriform chaeta and eight falcigers; blades strongly bidentate, 22.5–10 µm long. Dorsal cirri becoming shorted in posterior parapodia, as long as parapodial lobes. Pygidium with two pairs of anal cirri; dorsal anal cirri almost four times longer than ventral ones, wrinkled. Ventral anal cirri digitiform. Anus placed dorsally. Maxillary has symmetrical, fused- to oval-shaped base, serrate along anterior margins. Maxillae with 24 free denticles in superior row, 32 free denticles in inferior row. Each basal plate of superior row with nine teeth. Anterior free denticles prolonged, distally curved, with main fang, one lateral, three medial teeth. Middle free denticles with strongly curved main fang, one lateral, two medial teeth (Figure 6G). Posterior free denticles short, with large main fang, one lateral, three medial teeth (Figure 6E). Each basal plate of inferior row with seven teeth. Middle free denticles with main fang, two lateral teeth, three medial teeth (Figure 6F). Anterior free denticles strongly prolonged, with main fang, two lateral, four medial teeth. Mandibles symmetrical, fused medially, each with four to six small free denticles anteriorly, 10 small teeth on inner margin (Figure 6H).</p><p>Reproduction</p><p>Oocytes were found in the coelomic cavity of a specimen at K15 (ESFM-POL /2005- 557): large, almost ovoid, having a maximum diameter of 190 µm (mean 163.4 ± 3.7 µm, n = 25).</p><p>Distribution</p><p>Dorvillea similis was previously reported from the Suez Canal, Indian Ocean and Pacific Ocean (Imajima 1992). This species is being newly reported from the Mediterranean Sea. It seems to have been well established along the Levantine coast of Turkey, as it is almost present in all shallow-water habitats sampled. As this species was originally described from the Suez Canal by Crossland (1924), it is most probably a Lessepsian migrant. However, its occurrence on the other coasts of the Levantine Sea (i.e. Egypt, Israel, Lebanon, Cyprus) should be checked.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03BF3042C863FFFA8E849C06FC8020AE	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Body elongated, thickened throughout with short, crowded segments, tapering posteriorly, with a shallow ventral groove (Figure 7A). Background colour pale brownish, with black pigmentations on anteroventral body surfaces; tentacular filaments and branchiae pale brownish (Figure 7A,B). Prostomium triangular, broad, bluntly pointed on anterior margin; eyes absent. Peristomium short, about 1.5 times longer than prostomium, with two distinct annulations. Tentacular filaments present on chaetigers 4 and 6, formed in two distinct groups, each having 32 filaments. Branchiae present from chaetiger 1 to posterior segments; branchiae located just dorsal to notopodia from chaetigers 1 to 10; branchiae gradually moving to dorsal midline of body from chaetiger 10 to 50 and located in midline from chaetiger 50 to posterior end. Notopodia and neuropodia widely separated, poorly developed. Parapodia with capillary chaetae and acicular spines. Chaetiger 1 with only capillary chaetae, numbering six on notopodia and 10 on neuropodia, measuring c. 650 µm long. Acicular spines first present on notopodium of chaetiger 30, and on neuropodium of chaetiger 16. In anterior chaetigers (between chaetiger 16 and 50), acicular spines associated with capillary chaetae. On chaetiger 30, notopodia with three acicular spines and six capillary chaetae, neuropodia with three acicular spines and one capillary chaeta. Acicular spines in anterior parapodia, brownish, slightly sigmoid, c. 100 µm long. After chaetiger 50, neuropodia with only acicular spines and after chaetiger 55 to pygidium, acicular spines numbering one on each neuropodia (Figure 7C). On chaetiger 75, notopodia with three acicular spines and three capillary chaetae; neuropodia with only one acicular spine; acicular spines measuring 140 µm on notopodia, 300 µm on neuropodia; capillary chaetae on notopodia measuring 540 µm. Acicular spines on neuropodia of middle parapodia sigmoid and dark brownish. On posterior parapodia, notopodia with three acicular spines (100 µm long) and one capillary chaeta (360 µm long) (Figure 7D); neuropodia with one acicular spine (160 µm long) (Figure 7E). Pygidium somewhat triangular; anal opening placed dorsally.</p><p>Reproduction</p><p>One specimen of this species has oocytes in its coelomic cavity, measuring 80–100 µm in diameter.</p><p>Remarks</p><p>The  Mediterranean specimens coincide with the syntypes of  Timarete caribous deposited in ZMUC.  However, there are some slight differences between Mediterranean and Caribbean specimens that could be the result of the difference in the size of worms.  The largest syntype (34 mm long, 3 mm wide, with 176 chaetigers) is longer than the largest  Mediterranean specimen.  The neuropodial hooks are first present on chaetiger 16 in both specimens, but notopodial hooks are commenced on chaetiger 30 in the  Mediterranean specimen, on chaetiger 40 in the  Caribbean specimen.  The neuropodia are represented by only one sigmoid hook after chaetiger 50 in the Mediterranean specimen, whereas the solitary neuropodial hook can be seen after chaetiger 100 in the Caribbean Sea. The morphology of chaetae is similar in both specimens  .</p><p>In the Mediterranean,  T. caribous might have been overlooked or confused with the native species  T. filigera (Delle Chiaje, 1828) . Therefore, the previous reports of  T. filigera, particularly from the harbour environments, should be checked to ascertain the real distribution pattern of this species in the Mediterranean. The main difference between these species is that the middle and posterior neuropodia of  T. caribous have only one large, sigmoid dark brown hook, whereas those of  T. filigera have at least three relatively thin, pale brownish hooks associated with one or two capillary chaetae. The other  Timarete species reported from the Mediterranean Sea is  T. punctata (Grube, 1859), which was considered to be a Lessepsian migrant (Çinar 2007).  Timarete punctata mainly differs from  T. caribous in having black irregular spots on body surface, tentacular filaments and branchiae (absent in  T. caribous).</p><p>Distribution</p><p>This species was previously known from the western and  central Atlantic Ocean (Kirkegaard 1981). It could have been introduced to the Mediterranean via ballast waters of ships, as it was found only on a used tyre submerged in the fishing harbour at Karaduvar (Mersin Bay), which is very close to one of the largest commercial harbours (Mersin Harbour) in Turkey  .</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03BF3042C86FFFF78E8A9B54FD8E20A6	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Body brownish, widest mid-anteriorly, tapering posteriorly. Prostomium short, transversely grooved, directed ventrally. Buccal tentacles grooved. Eyespots arranged in narrow band across tentacular collar. Peristomium similar to chaetiger 1 dorsally, forming a crescent-shaped lower lip. Lateral lobes absent. Three pairs of branchiae on segments 2–4, consisting of simple filaments; 25 on segment 2, 24 on segment 3 and 20 on segment 4 (Figure 10A). Medial gap between left and right side groups of filaments wider on segment 4. Notopodia from segment 2 to near pygidium, with winged capillaries (Figure 10B). Neurochaetae from chaetiger 4, avicular, extending near pygidium; having a main fang with two rows of teeth above, two in first row and six in second row (MF: 2: 6) (Figure 10C). Uncini arranged in single rows, longest mid-anteriorly, decreasing in length and forming C-shaped curves at chaetiger 16 to end of body (Figure 10C). Midventral glandular pads extending to segment 19. Nephridial papillae absent. Pygidium (in complete specimens) without cirri, cylindrical, anus terminal.</p><p>Distribution</p><p>Streblosoma comatus was previously reported from the Indian and Pacific Oceans (Day 1967). The report of  S. hesslei Day, 1955 from the Italian coast by Giangrande et al. (1981) might refer to this species. However, Giangrande et al (1981) did not give any information regarding the number of segments with notochaetae, which is one of the main differences between  S. comatus and  S. hesslei . Therefore, the specimens from the Italian coast should be re-examined to see whether they have notochaetae in the posterior part of the body. This species might have been introduced to the Mediterranean in the ballast waters of ships from the Indian Ocean. However, if it occurs in the Red Sea (no record to date), its introduction via the Suez Canal could not be excluded.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03BF3042C857FFCC8E9C9A24FF10238B	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Body pale brownish in general (Figure 11A), but specimens collected in  Aplysina aerophoba dark brownish. Eye spots absent. Tentacular membrane anteriorly expanded to form large anteriorly directed lobe and laterally expanded as two large lobes with convoluted margins. Buccal tentacles of two types; thin, long, narrow grooved tentacles and thickened, small grooved ones (Figure 11A). Ventral lower lip raised, forming a small globular structure. Thorax with 22 pairs of notopodia from segment 2. Notopodia long and elongated in anterior part, becoming smaller towards posterior part. Two types of notochaetae; pinnate and capillary chaetae (Figure 11B). Pinnate chaetae numbering 10–12 per parapodia, measuring maximally 300 µm, with a long arista (12.5 µm long) (Figure 11C). Capillary chaetae present in inferior part of notopodia, numbering 1–2 (observed on some parapodia), measuring 37.5–75 µm long. Neurochaetae from chaetiger 16 to pygidium placed on small erect globular structure; numbering c. 15–20 per parapodium; uncini large with an extended base, with one tooth above main fang, followed 6–10 minute denticles (dental formula MF: 1: 6–10); attached to torus by elongate tendons (Figure 11D,E). Thoracic ventrum with raised ventral pads on segments 2–10, separated medially by deep midventral grooves. Nephridial papillae small rounded, on chaetigers 1–3.</p><p>Remarks</p><p>Polycirrus twisti was originally described from the Suez Canal (Kabret) by Potts (1928). The main diagnostic features of this species are that it has two types of notochaetae (pinnate and capillary) and one type of neurochaeta (one large tooth above the main fang) starting on the last five or six thoracic chaetigers. The number of thoracic and abdominal chaetigers seems to be size-related in this species. The 13 mm long specimen had 22 thoracic and 86 abdominal chaetigers, whereas the 6.5 mm long specimen possessed 17 thoracic and 48 abdominal chaetigers. The Mediterranean specimens of  P. twisti are in accordance with the original description of this species. However, the Mediterranean specimens have neurochaetae on the last five or six thoracic chaetigers, whereas Potts (1928) mentioned that neurochaetae were present only on the last thoracic chaetiger. However, it should be kept in mind that the first thoracic neurochaetae are difficult to determine because they emerge on a very small protuberance and become more discernable towards the posterior part of the thorax.</p><p>In the Mediterranean Sea,  P. twisti might have been confused with  P. plumosus Wollebaeck, 1912, which also has pinnate chaetae.  Polycirrus twisti mainly differs from it in having capillary chaetae on parapodia (lacking in  P. plumosus). Therefore, the previous reports of  P. plumosus should be re-examined.</p><p>Distribution</p><p>Polycirri twisti is only known from the Suez Canal and could have been introduced to the Mediterranean from this region.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03BF3042C855FFC98D6099BEFD802653	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Branchial crown 5.3 mm long, with 20 pairs of radioles, with four or five narrow transverse bands of dark brown pigmentation on inner radiole margins and adjacent one to three pairs of pinnules; radiole surface smooth; tip of radioles extending to form a long narrow filament; palmate membrane present, joining radioles proximally at about 1/10 of radiole length (Figure 12A,C). Anterior peristomial ring not developed ventrally. Dorsal lips erect, lamellar, distally tapered; radiolar appendages present, with two rows of skeletal cells extending through most of length of appendage (Figure 12G). Ventral lips about twothirds lengths of dorsal lips. Lateral collar margin entire, oblique, without incisions. Ventral collar margin distinctly higher than dorsal and lateral margins, as pair of broadly triangular lobes (Figure 12B). Thin, white transverse ridge present at junction of posterior peristomial ring and chaetiger 1; complete except middorsally (Figure 12B). Notochaetae on chaetiger 1 in two distinct groups; three superior elongate narrowly hooded, five inferior paleate. Notochaetae on chaetigers 2–8 with superior group of four elongate narrowly hooded chaetae and inferior group of 10 paleate chaetae; all paleate chaetae with hoods gradually narrowing distally to thin mucro. Neuropodial uncini on chaetigers 2–3 with main fang surmounted by three or four rows of teeth, one tooth per row, breast well developed, handles absent (Figure 12E). Companion chaetae absent. Thoracic neuropodial tori longest on chaetiger 2, extending to near ventral midline. Anterior abdominal neuropodia each with two chaetal rows, anterior row with broadly hooded chaetae, posterior row with elongate, narrowly hooded chaetae; posterior neuropodia with single rows of elongate, narrowly hooded chaetae. Abdominal notopodial avicular uncini with a main fang surmounted by three rows of teeth, one tooth per row, occasionally two teeth on last row; breast well developed, handles absent (Figure 12F). Posterior part of body including last 17 chaetigers with a depression (Figure 12A). Pygidium triangular, without a terminal cirrus; anus mid-ventral, near anterior margin. Tubes large, muddy (Figure 12D).</p><p>Remarks</p><p>This species differs from  Laonome kroyeri Malmgren, 1865, which was previously reported from the Mediterranean, in having pigmentation on the branchial crown (absent in  L. kroyeri), anal depression (absent in  L. kroyeri) and triangular lobes in collar (thick and glandular in  L. kroyeri). The other species that was cited under the genus  Laonome in the Mediterraenean,  L. salmacidis Claparède, 1870, was transferred to the genus  Euratella (see Fauchald 1977). The Mediterranean specimens of  L. triangularis coincide with its original and subsequent descriptions by Hutchings and Murray (1984) and Capa (2007). However, there are some slight differences between the distant populations. The Australian specimens described by Capa (2007) have thoracic uncini with three rows of teeth above main fang (three or four rows of teeth above main fang in Mediterranean specimens), abdominal uncini with four rows of teeth above fang (two or three rows of teeth above main fang in Mediterranean specimens) and seven transversal bands of dark brown pigmentation in radioles (four or five in Mediterranean specimens).</p><p>Distribution</p><p>This species was only reported from Australia on sandy mud at depths to 20 m, in salinities of 19–35% (Hutchings and Murray 1984). As it was only found near harbours in I skenderun and Mersin Bays, this species could have been introduced to the area by ballast waters of ships. It is a euryhaline species that can easily adapt to a new environment.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03BF3042C853FFCB8EE29ABCFE8023B4	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Tube leathery, covered by sands and algae. Body pale brownish with small dark brown spots over whole surface (especially anterior ventral part) (Figure 13A). Crown with brown bands alternating pale brownish bands around radioles (Figure 13A,B). Radiolar crown united at base by a short web, bearing 24 pairs of radioles with apinnate tips and stylodes. Basal stylode small, unpaired, digitiform. Macrostylodes strap-like, four or five times longer than other stylodes (Figure 13A,B). Eyes small, compound, not present between last pair of stylodes and radiolar tip. Dorsal lips long, about half the length of radioles, tapering. Dorsal collar with free, wellseparated margins. Thorax with eight segments, with interramal dark spots. Ventral shields rectangular, anterior margin of first shield straight. Collar chaetae slender, weakly geniculate, arranged in compact fascicles. Thoracic notochaetae arranged in irregular oblique rows of superior and inferior chaetae; each superior chaeta slender, weakly geniculate, knee region wider than shaft; knee region of inferior chaetae twice as wide as shafts. Neurochaetae with avicular uncini; crest surmounted by two rows of teeth (Figure 13C). Abdominal tori smaller than thoracic tori. Fascicles of abdominal chaetae forming compact tufts; outer geniculate chaetae arranged in C-shaped arcs. Abdominal uncini similar to those in thorax. Faecal groove passing around right side of body from last thoracic segment to second segment of ventral abdomen and onto bilobed pygidium.</p><p>Remarks</p><p>Branchiomma bairdi is very similar to  B. boholense, which was previously reported from different parts of the Mediterranean (see Knight-Jones et al. 1991; Çinar 2005). Both species have macrostylodes on radioles. The main differences between these two species were recently outlined by Tovar-Hernández et al. (2009). According to them,  B. bairdi has strap-like macrostylodes and two or three rows of teeth on thoracic uncini, whereas  B. boholense has tongue-like macrostylodes and one large tooth on thoracic uncini. I re-examined specimens that were collected from northern Cyprus in 1998 and identified as  B. boholense (see Çinar 2005), and realised that all specimens belong to  B. bairdi, not  B. boholense . Therefore, the previous records of  B. boholense from the Mediterranean should be checked.</p><p>Distribution</p><p>This species was previously known from the western Atlantic (from Bermuda to Caribbean Sea) and eastern Pacific Ocean (Pacific Panama and Mexico) (Tovar- Hernández et al. 2009). It is a new record for the Mediterranean Sea. It could have been introduced to the area on the hulls of ships. However, if it exists in the Red Sea (no record yet), its introduction to the area through the Suez Canal cannot be excluded.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03BF3042C850FFC48EEE99BEFF10268B	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
