03A887D86D50FFC1ABE5761EFC6E2FE2.taxon	etymology	Etymology. The name of this species is derived from the Latin words draco (dragon) and dermalis (dermal), meaning dragon skin. There is a certain similarity between the dorsal cirri of living individuals and the scales on the dorsal region of mythical Japanese dragons.	en	Oliveira, Verônica Maria De, Eibye-Jacobsen, Danny, Lana, Paulo Da Cunha (2015): Description of three new species of Eumida Malmgren, 1865 (Phyllodocidae, Annelida) from Southern and Southeastern Brazil.

03A887D86D50FFC1ABE5761EFC6E2FE2.taxon	discussion	Remarks. All the previous Brazilian records (Duarte & Nalesso 1996; Duarte 1980; Morgado & Amaral 1984; Nogueira 2000; Amaral et al. 2006 – 12) of Eumida sanguinea (Öersted, 1843), which was originally described from the North Atlantic Ocean (Denmark), should actually be referred to Eumida dracodermica sp. nov. The two species differ in the size of the prostomium, the distribution of micropapillae on the proboscis, and the shape of the dorsal cirri. In E. sanguinea the prostomium is almost as long as wide, the proboscis has irregularly distributed micropapillae and the dorsal cirri are cordiform, whereas in E. dracodermica sp. nov. the prostomium is clearly longer than wide, the proboscis has six rows of tubercles with micropapillae regularly distributed, and the dorsal cirri of anterior and median segments are cordiform, almost lanceolate on posterior segments. They share the presence of two longitudinal rows of micropapillae on each papilla in the terminal ring of the proboscis. E. dracodermica sp. nov. shares the presence of cordiform dorsal cirri on the median part of the body with Eumida longicirrata Hartmann-Schroder, 1975 (known from the NE Atlantic Ocean, Iberian Basin). It also resembles this species in having supracicular prechaetal lobes that are twice as large as the subacicular lobes, but they differ in the characters of the proboscis, which is smooth in E. longicirrata and possesses tubercles with micropapillae in E. dracodermica sp. nov. E. dracodermica sp. nov. shares the presence of a cordiform prostomium and median dorsal cirri with Eumida longicornuta (Moore, 1906) known from the Northern Pacific Ocean and Eumida minuta (Grube, 1880), known from Ilha de Santa Catarina, in southern Brazil (previously Desterro Island, Santa Catarina, Brazil). However, E. dracodermica clearly differs from them in the shape of the dorsal cirri, which are symmetrical in anterior and median segments and lanceolate in posterior segments.	en	Oliveira, Verônica Maria De, Eibye-Jacobsen, Danny, Lana, Paulo Da Cunha (2015): Description of three new species of Eumida Malmgren, 1865 (Phyllodocidae, Annelida) from Southern and Southeastern Brazil.

03A887D86D5BFFC2ABE5741AFA5E2B47.taxon	discussion	Remarks. Eumida macrophthalma sp. nov. differs from E. dracodermica sp. nov. and E. delicata sp. nov. in the shape of the prostomium, which is more rounded, and in the size of the eyes, which are proportionally larger. The three species also differ in the extension of the dorsal whitish pigmentation on the anterior segments: in all three this pigmentation is present on segment 2 (the first dorsally visibile segment); in E. macrophthalma sp. nov. it is also present on segment 3 and the dorsal tentacular cirrophores; in E. dracodermica sp. nov. it is also present on the posterior edge of the prostomium, the anterior edge of segment 3 and the dorsal tentacular cirrophores; in E. delicata sp. nov. it is also present on the dorsal tentacular cirrophores of segment 2, but not those of segment 3. E. macrophthalma sp. nov. and E. sanguinea differ in the position of the median antenna and the shape of the dorsal cirrus.

03A887D86D5FFFC7ABE572BAFAA62987.taxon	discussion	Remarks. This species differs from E. dracodermica sp. nov. in having lanceolate and elongate dorsal cirri along the entire body, whereas in the latter only those of posterior segments are lanceolate. The eyes are proportionally smaller in E. delicata sp. nov. than in E. macrophthalma sp. nov. The extension of the dorsal whitish pigmentation on the anterior segments in E. delicata sp. nov. clearly differs from that of E. dracodermica sp. nov. and E. macrophthalma sp. nov. (see Remarks on the latter species). All three new species described here share the insertion of the median antenna anterior to the eyes, but differ in its length, relatively long in E. delicata sp. nov. and E. dracodermica sp. nov. and shorter in E. macrophthalma sp. nov. It differs from E. sanguinea in the position of the median antenna and in the shape of the dorsal cirri, especially on anterior segments. E. delicata sp. nov. differs from Eumida notata (Langerhans, 1880), known from Madeira, in the shape of the prostomium and dorsal cirri, which are oval and cordiform, respectively, in the latter. E. delicata sp. nov. shares dorsal lanceolate cirri and dorsal whitish pigmentation restricted to segment 2 with Eumida ockelmanni Eibye-Jacobsen, 1987, known from northern Europe (Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Great Britain, Faroe Islands), but differs from that species in its much larger size (E. ockelmanni up to 7 mm long) and the absence of a median pygidial papilla.	en	Oliveira, Verônica Maria De, Eibye-Jacobsen, Danny, Lana, Paulo Da Cunha (2015): Description of three new species of Eumida Malmgren, 1865 (Phyllodocidae, Annelida) from Southern and Southeastern Brazil.
