“…They have already been proven extremely useful diagnostic characters in other spionid genera, e.g. in Marenzelleria (Bick 2005), Spiophanes (Meißner 2005), and Laonice (Sikorski 2002). The nuchal organs of Spio species from the North and Baltic Seas consists of two median and two lateral bands of cilia (Figs.…”

In order to resolve taxonomic problems known from literature and diagnostic practices, Spio species currently recognised in the North Sea and the Baltic Sea have been re-examined. Spio species recorded in the area of interest are S. decoratus, Spio cf. filicornis, S. goniocephala, S. martinensis, and S. armata. Spio decoratus is restricted to the North Sea, whereas S. armata occurs only in the Baltic Sea. Revised descriptions with illustrations and notes on the distributions, as well as remarks on size-dependent differences of characters, are presented for all species. Specimens of Spio from the North and Baltic Seas, which are assigned to S. filicornis based on current taxonomic literature, exhibit significant morphological differences, and are here regarded as two different species. A definite assignment of specimens from the two morphological distinct groups to one of the known Spio species was impossible based on the material available. The significance of diagnostic characters used for the identification of Spio spp. is discussed. An identification key to Spio species found in the investigation area is provided.

“…Nomenclature: Spiophanes kroyeri reyssi Laubier, 1964 Notes: Meißner (2005) (Claparède, 1864) and Amblyosyllis madeirensis Langerhans, 1879); Amblyosyllis dorsigera is currently considered a synonym of Amblyosyllis formosa. However, the characters traditionally used to distinguish these three species (number and type of pharyngeal teeth) seem not to be consistent (Çınar and Ergen 2002) and the genus is in need of revision.…”

BackgroundThe last annotated checklist of marine polychaetes in Greece was published in 2001. Since then, global taxonomic progress, combined with many new species records for Greece, required a thorough review of the taxonomic, nomenclatural and biogeographic status of the national species list. This checklist revises the status of all extant polychaete species reported from the Greek Exclusive Economic Zone since 1832. The work was undertaken as part of the efforts on compiling a national species inventory (Greek Taxon Information System initiative) in the framework of the LifeWatchGreece Research Infrastructure.New informationThis checklist comprises an updated and annotated inventory of polychaete species in Greek waters, compiled from literature reports, online databases, museum collections and unpublished datasets. The list provides information on 836 species-level taxa from Greece, of which 142 are considered questionable. An additional 84 species reported in the past are currently considered absent from Greece; reasons for the exclusion of each species are given. Fourteen species are reported here for the first time from Greek waters. At least 52 species in the present list constitute in fact a complex of cryptic or pseudo-cryptic species. Forty-seven species are considered non-native to the area. In addition to the species-level taxa reported in this checklist, eleven genera have been recorded from Greece with no representatives identified to species level. One replacement name is introduced. For each species, a comprehensive bibliographic list of occurrence records in Greece and the synonyms used in these publications are provided as supplementary material. Where necessary, the taxonomic, nomenclatural or biogeographic status is discussed. Finally, the findings are discussed in the wider context of Mediterranean polychaete biogeography, taxonomic practice and worldwide research progress.
