On some amphicorina (polychaeta, sabellidae) species from the mediterranean coast, with the description of A. grahamensis

Abstract

Species belonging to the genus Amphicorina are reported from some areas of the Mediterranean Sea, with the description of the new species A. grahamensis. The description of another species, Amphicorina sp., close to an Australian taxon, together with the redescriptions of A. pectinata, A. persinosa, and A. armandi are also given; the variability of this last taxon, probably deriving from misidentiflcations, is also considered. Examined specimens were prevalently from the Italian coast, and in particular from the Adriatic Sea. © 1999 Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.
