Annelida Streblosoma Nicolea Pista Terebella taxonomy northeastern Brazil

Abstract

Four new species of terebellid polychaetes were collected at the Reserva de Desenvolvimento Sustentável da Ponta de Tubarão, State of Rio Grande do Norte, northeastern Brazil. These species are Streblosoma patriciae sp. nov., Terebella leslieae sp. nov., Nicolea ceciliae sp. nov., and Pista alonsae sp. nov. All these species are herein described and compared with the morphologically most similar congeners.
