“…glycymerica is closely related to Pofydora vulgaris described by Mohammad (1972) from shells of a pearl oyster Pinctada margaritifera from Arabian Gulf. It differs from the latter species by the absence of needle-like spines in posterior notopodia.…”

Fourteen species representing four genera Boccardiella, Neoboccardia, Polydora and Pseudopolydora of the polychaete family Spionidae from the North West Pacific are described on the basis of author's collections as well as material deposited in five museums. The study includes eight previously described species, two species raised in rank from subspecies, four new species, and six synonyms. Descriptions, figures and ecological data of the species covered, keys to the species of Polydora and Pseudopolydora from the North West Pacific, and diagnoses of the genera covered are included.

“…Boring polydorids, also called blisterworms or mudworms are known pests which can cause serious damage to molluscs, both cultivated and living in natural ecosystems (Haswell 1885;Whitlegge 1890;Lunz 1941;Loosanoff and Engle 1943;Hewatt and Andrews 1954;Owen 1957;Galtsoff 1964;Mohammad 1972;Blake and Evans 1973;Kent 1979;Skeel 1979;Lauckner 1980Lauckner , 1983Wargo and Ford 1993;Handley 1995Handley , 1998Blake 1996;Handley and Bergquist 1997;Lleonart et al 2003a, b).

A new species of spionid polychaete, Polydora onagawaensis, is described from mollusk shells in Pacific waters of northeastern Japan. Its nuclear 18S rRNA gene sequence as well as its morphology, reproductive features, life history and infestation characteristics are reported. Polydora onagawaensis sp. nov. belongs to the Polydora ciliata/websteri group and has a moderate size and variable black pigmentation on the palps and body. Up to 115 worms were found boring in a single scallop shell from suspended cultures in Onagawa Bay, with significantly higher numbers in the right than in the left valve. Females repeatedly deposited a string of egg capsules from around October to June (seawater temperature was below 15°C). The larvae developed inside the egg capsules for 2 wk (10°C, laboratory conditions), until the 3-chaetiger stage, before being released as planktonic larvae. The main spawning occurred in December, recruitment onto the shells increased after January, and most large worms disappeared between July and October. Thus, the estimated life span is around 1.5 yr after settlement. Details on biology and gene information not only contribute to distinguishing the species from other polydorids similar in morphology, but also allow control of polydorid infestation in mollusk aquaculture.
