Ordo: Phyllodocida
Familia: Syllidae
Genus: Sphaerosyllis
Name
Sphaerosyllis thomasi San Martín 1984 – Wikispecies link – Pensoft Profile
- Sphaerosyllis thomasi San Martín, 1984b: 250, fig. 59; 2003: 199, figs 103–104; Arvanitidis 1994[1]: 80; Çinar 1999[2]: 163, fig. 4.60.
Material examined
Haifa Bay, Israel: ALA-IL-7 (2 ind.) [coll. 11.10.2009].
Type locality
Balearic Islands (western Mediterranean Sea).
Distribution
Mediterranean Sea: WB, CB, AD, AS, LB. New record for the Israeli coast.
Habitat
Shallow subtidal depths, in muddy to coarse sands, among Posidonia oceanica rhizomes.
Remarks
The examined specimens agree well with the description of San Martín (2003)[3], especially in the chaeteal structures, but in the Israeli specimens the dorsal cirri are as long as parapodial lobes in posterior and midbody chaetigers and only slightly shorter than parapodial lobe in anterior chaetigers (dorsal cirri shorter than parapodial lobe in San Martín’s (2003) description).
