A new genus and 12 new species of eunicidae (Polychaeta) from the caribbean sea
A new genus is established in Eunicidae: Fauchaldius gen. nov., a symbiont of hexactinellid sponges that has only subacicular hooks, with F. cyrtauloni sp. nov. as its type species. Nine new species are described in Eunice: E. hernandezi sp. nov., E. ibarzabalae sp. nov., E. mikeli sp. nov. and E. nonatoi sp. nov. all belonging to the fuscusbidentate group; E. edwinlinkae sp. nov., E. hartmanae sp. nov., E. lanai sp. nov., and E. miurai sp. nov. all belonging to the flavus-tridentate group; and E. donathi sp. nov. that belongs to the fuscus-unidentate group. Further, two new species are described in Marphysa: M. angeli sp. nov. that is grouped with species having only composite falcigers, and M. orensanzi sp. nov. that belongs to the group with composite falcigers and composite spinigers. A key to identify genera in Eunicidae is included. A key to identify species of Eunice is appended.
