New Species Of The Scale Worm Genus Pholoides (polychaeta: Sigalionidae) From South-east Brazil

A new species of scale worm, Pholoides brasiliensis sp. nov., belonging to the family Sigalionidae, has been found in Espírito Santo, Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo States, south-east Brazil. The new species is mainly characterized by a long papilla in the subdistal region of the neuropodia and a prominent papilla on the ventral side of the tentaculophore. Pholoides remains species-poor compared to most Sigalionidae genera, and currently comprises four species.94815871595Amaral, A.C.Z., Lana, P.C., Fernandes, F.C., Coimbra, J.C., Caracterização do ambiente e da macrofauna bentônica (2004) Biodiversidade Bentô-nica das Regiões Sudeste e sul Do Brasil-Plataforma Externa e Talude Superior, pp. 11-44. , Amaral A.C.Z. and Rossi-Wongtschowski C.L.D.B.
