The number of records of the genus Prionospio Malmgren, 1867, from the deep sea (>2000 m) are relatively few and do not reflect the actual occurrence of species nor their potential ecological importance. In this paper we describe five new species of this genus (Prionospio amarsupiata sp. nov., P. vallensis sp. nov., P. branchilucida sp. nov., P. hermesia sp. nov. and P. kaplani sp. nov.) all of which are abundant members of the deep-sea community. We also describe two new species of the genus…

New Prionospio and Laubieriellus (Annelida: Spionidae) species from Southeastern Brazil.

For Laubieriellus, a new species is described, and attention is drawn to the notch in the ventral crests, a structure that holds taxonomic value.

High diversity and pan-oceanic distribution of deep-sea polychaetes: Prionospio and Aurospio (Annelida: Spionidae) in the Atlantic and Pacific Ocean

The results suggest that members of Prionospio and Aurospio may have the potential to disperse across large geographic distances, largely unaffected by topographic barriers and possibly even between oceans.

Abyssal fauna of polymetallic nodule exploration areas, eastern Clarion-Clipperton Zone, central Pacific Ocean: Annelida: Spionidae and Poecilochaetidae

Molecular data provide insights into relationships within Spioniformia, suggesting that both Poecilochaetidae and TrochochAetidae belong within Spions, and that 15 out of 25 species reported here have a wide distribution within the eastern CCZ.

A new species of Spiogalea (Polychaeta: Spionidae) from Brazil, with an amended diagnosis of the genus

A new Spiogalea species is described from South-east Brazil, which differs from the type-species, mostly in the morphology of the prostomial chitinous plate, a character restricted to the genus Spiogsalea.

Abyssal fauna of polymetallic nodule exploration areas, eastern Clarion-Clipperton Zone, central Pacific Ocean: Amphinomidae and Euphrosinidae (Annelida, Amphinomida)

The genus Euphrosinopsis was previously known only from Antarctic waters, and Euphrosinella georgievaesp.

Two New Records of Spionid Polychaetes(Polychaeta: Spionidae) in Korean Fauna

Prionospio pulchra can be distinguished from its relatives by remarkably long and apinnate branchiae, the first chaetiger with notopodial chaetae, and the presence of ventral sabre Chaetae.

Abyssal fauna of polymetallic nodule exploration areas, eastern Clarion-Clipperton Zone, central Pacific Ocean: Annelida: Capitellidae, Opheliidae, Scalibregmatidae, and Travisiidae

DNA taxonomy of abyssal polychaete worms from the eastern Clarion-Clipperton Zone (CCZ), central Pacific Ocean is presented, using material collected as part of the Abyssal Baseline (ABYSSLINE) environmental survey cruises to facilitate future taxonomic and environmental impact study.

Habitat availability determines distribution patterns of spionid polychaetes (Annelida: Spionidae) around Tokyo Bay

It is concluded that habitat availability determines distribution patterns of spionid polychaetes around Tokyo Bay and Boccardia pseudonatrix is considered to be a potential alien species.

Comparative marine biodiversity and depth zonation in the Southern Ocean: evidence from a new large polychaete dataset from Scotia and Amundsen seas

Based on a dataset of 16,991 and 307 morphospecies of polychaete worms collected from 58 epibenthic sledge deployments across the Scotia and Amundsen Seas, we show that the structures of their shelf,…

Cladistic analysis and classification of Prionospio and related general (Polychaeta, Spionidae)

The phylogenetic relationships of Prionospio Malnigren, 1867 are estimated in two parsimony analyses and the single most parsimonious tree supports monophyly of a group containing P. (PrionospIO), P.(Minuspio), P (Aqirilaspio), and Apopriotiospio.

A revision of the genus Prionospio Malmgren, with special emphasis on species from the Atlantic Ocean, and new records of species belonging to the genera Apoprionospio Foster and Paraprionospio Caullery (Polychaeta, Annelida, Spionidae)

Fifteen species, including seven new species, belonging to the genus Prionospio are described, and several are retained, and new species and new synonymies are proposed.

Spionidae (Annelida: Polychaeta) from the Capbreton Canyon (Bay of Biscay, NE Atlantic) with descriptions of a new genus and three new species

The main characters of Spiogalea vieitezi are the presence of two chitinous plates surrounding the anterior part of the prostomium and, as in the genera Spiophanella andSpiophanes, the absence of branchiae.

DNA barcoding reveals cryptic diversity in marine hydroids (Cnidaria, Hydrozoa) from coastal and deep‐sea environments

The mitochondrial 16S rRNA proved to be a useful DNA ‘barcode’ gene for hydroids, not only allowing discrimination of species, but also in some cases of populations, genera and families, and their intra‐ or interphylogenetic associations.

Generic interrelationships within the Spionidae (Annelida: Polychaeta)

DNA Barcoding of Lepetodrilus Limpets Reveals Cryptic Species

DNA barcodes based on ∼1,000 bp of cytochrome-c-oxidase subunit I (COI) were used to identify lepetodrilids that were found living on vent decapods and resolved relationships among members of several cryptic species complexes.
