Marine Annelida (excluding clitellates and siboglinids) from the South
China Sea
Christopher J. Glasby1*, Yen-Ling Lee2 & Pan-Wen Hsueh3
Abstract. An annotated checklist of 1257 species (73 families) of Annelida from the South China Sea (SCS) is
presented, including 289 species originally described from the region. The remaining extralimital records (968) are
likely to represent a mixture of species complexes, misidentiications or truly widespread species, and therefore
should be targets for future taxonomic study. The occurrence of each species within each of seven subregions is
reported, with the majority (72%) of species only occurring in a single region. The annelid diversity of Singapore
is estimated to be 121 species and 37 families. Families showing the highest levels of diversity in the SCS are the
Nereididae (134 species), Syllidae (100), Polynoidae (76), Serpulidae (72), Spionidae (60), and Eunicidae (59). By
comparison, both Nereididae and Syllidae are found to be more diverse in the SCS than the Australia region. For
the Nereididae, this is likely to be the result of this group’s capacity to tolerate low salinities, which would give
its members a selective advantage over other annelids in a region that experiences high freshwater input (river
low and precipitation). In the case of Syllidae, it may be the result of taxonomic bias. The SCS region is home
to 19 species that are utilised directly by humans, either as bait, food for penaeid aquaculture or, in few cases,
human consumption.
Key words. Polychaeta, Sipuncula, Echiura, Myzostomida, checklist, distribution, diversity

INTRODUCTION
This study was initiated as a result of the workshop
‘Workshop on Marine Ecosystems and Biodiversity of the
South China Sea, National University of Singapore’ held in
August 2012, which aimed to update the knowledge of the
marine biodiversity in the South China Sea (SCS). While
initially focused on polychaetes of the region, the study
was broadened to include all Annelida, the least inclusive,
putatively monophyletic group including the polychaetes. The
Annelida includes also the clitellates, siboglinids, sipunculans,
echiurans and myzostomids (Struck et al., 2011; Weigert et
al., 2014). Documenting the biodiversity of a monophyletic
taxon across an area of endemism such as the SCS allows
for a meaningful comparison of biodiversity with other
regions and contributes to future biogeographic studies.
In this study, we include all marine Annelida excluding
the clitellates (oligochaetes and leeches) and siboglinids
(pogonophorans and vestimentiferans), two groups likely
to be less well-represented in the SCS; it is intended that
these groups will be added in a subsequent study involving
The South China Sea is the largest semi-enclosed sea in the
western tropical Paciic Ocean. A deep central basin (>5000
m) is bordered by two broad continental shelves shallower
than 200 m, in the northwest and southwest (Sunda Shelf).
Other notable hydrodynamic features are the high freshwater
input from major river systems in China and Vietnam, heavy
monsoonal rainfall, and a net throughlow from the Paciic
to the Indian Ocean (Fang et al., 2009). The area includes
many shoals such as the Macclesield Bank (= Zhongsha
Islands), oceanic islands, for example Spratly (= Nansha)
Islands and The Paracel (= Xisha) Islands, and continental
islands including Natuna and Anambas in the south SCS.
The wide range of habitats for annelids include deep-sea
and shelf sediments, coastal zones such as mangrove forests,
seagrass beds, coral reefs, as well as the brackish waters of
adjacent lakes and lagoons.
Previous checklists of the region include those of Paxton &
Chou (2000) and Salazar-Vallejo et al. (2014). The present
checklist differs considerably from these previous ones
in both taxonomic and geographic scope. Paxton & Chou
(2000) and Salazar-Vallejo et al. (2014) both had a broader
geographic scope: the former included the entire Taiwan and
Philippines marine regions, and the latter included a broadly
heterogeneous region comprising the East China Sea, SCS
(including Gulf of Thailand), Philippines and Sulu Sea, the
seas of Indonesia (Java, Banda and Celebes Seas), and the
western Paciic regions of southern islands of Japan and part
of Micronesia. The regional limits chosen by both Paxton &

Chou (2000) and Salazar-Vallejo et al. (2014) relected the
aims of their studies ― respectively, a geopolitical checklist
and a baseline for future taxonomic studies ― and so do
not represent homogeneous biogeographic entities under
any current biogeographic schema. In terms of taxonomic
scope, the previous studies considered polychaetes in a
much narrower sense, with both excluding the sipunculans
and echiurans, and Paxton & Chou (2000) excluding also
the siboglinids and myzostomids. Importantly, the study of
Salazar-Vallejo et al. (2014) listed only the species originally
described from the region, whereas the present study includes
both originally described species and also species occurring
in the region but originally described from elsewhere (=
extralimital species). Although the study of Paxton & Chou
(2000) includes all species reported from the region, they
overlooked many species records including those reported
by the Challenger (1875) and the U.S. Fisheries steamer
Albatross, 1907–1910, which were described in subsequent
years (McIntosh, 1885; Hoagland, 1920; Treadwell, 1920,
1926, 1931). Considering the different scopes of previous
and the present study and the omissions, comparison between
them is not possible.
Fig. 1. Seven geographic subregions within the South China Sea
(SCS), after Lane et al. (2000). 1 = Gulf of Thailand; 2 = Vietnam
and west of Hainan Island; 3 = Luzon, Palawan, and adjacent
waters off Philippines; 4 = North of Borneo, off Malaysia; 5 =
Bangka Straits, east of Sumatra, west of Borneo, east of peninsula
Malaysia, Singapore, Natuna Islands; 6 = South China, including
Hong Kong, southern Taiwan, Paracel Islands; 7 = Spratly Islands.
The goal of the present study is to document the annelid
taxa and their distributions in the SCS, by updating existing
inventories and adding taxa missed by Paxton & Chou (2000)
and Salazar-Vallejo et al. (2014). By focussing on both a
monophyletic taxonomic group and a monophyletic area
(i.e., an area of endemism), we are able to make some initial
comparisons between the diversity of Annelida (and various
families) in the SCS, and other large areas of endemism (=
Large Marine Ecosystems; LMEs). The present checklist
contains all published records in the systematic literature
of annelid taxa (excluding clitellates and siboglinids)
occurring in the SCS, plus an unpublished list of species
level identiications reported at the International Polychaete
Conference, Sydney, August 2013, collected during the recent
Comprehensive Marine Biodiversity Survey of Singapore
(December 2010 – April 2015).
were excluded (for example, the entries from Taiwan in
Paxton & Chou (2000), with Hsieh as pers. comm.). Species
identifications have not been verified; those originally
described from Arctic, Boreal or Subantartic regions were
assumed to be misidentiications.
In addition to the basic goal of documenting annelid
biodiversity of the region, we also lag species utilised by
humans for purposes such as bait for ishing and aquaculture
food. People in the countries bordering the SCS are probably
the most enthusiastic users of annelid resources of any
region on Earth.
MATERIAL AND METHODS
Taxonomic scope. The primary taxonomic units in the study
are valid species as indicated in the World Register of Marine
Species WoRMS (http://www.marinespecies.org/; accessed
November–December 2015). Current generic and familial
assignments also follow WoRMS. In keeping with current
trends in polychaete taxonomy, subspecies and varieties are
elevated to species level and subgenera are elevated to full
genus level (sipunculans and echiurans are the exceptions).
Where relevant, the original binomen/trinomen is provided
under Taxonomic Remarks (Table 1) for historical continuity.
In addition to valid species, morphospecies identiied in
taxonomic studies are also included; in these cases the
author and year is used in the species name to identify
unequivocally the taxon.
Geographic scope. The external boundaries of the SCS and
subregions follow those established by Lane et al. (2000) for
echinoderms (Fig. 1). The external boundaries encompass
two LMEs identiied by the National Oceanographic and
Atmospheric Administration, ‘South China Sea’ and the
‘Gulf of Thailand’ (http://www.lme.noaa.gov/). The SCS
extends from the Tropic of Cancer in the north to about
3°S in the south, i.e., including Bangka Belitung Islands
(Fig. 1). The southern limit of the SCS, which is perhaps
the most debated of all the boundaries, corresponds also to
that used by the International Hydrographic Organization.
Within the SCS we use the seven subregions identiied by
Lane et al. (2000) (Fig. 1), which were based on proximity
from coast; they provide for a preliminary means of area
comparison rather than a strict biogeographic analysis.
Subregion scoring was by presence-only, that is absence of
Taxonomic names listed in ecological papers were excluded,
as in general they are not veriiable by a voucher specimen.
Also, identiications based on personal communications

s.s. along with S.
corniculatus s.s. and
S. crucigerus (Grube,
1862), all of which
occur in the Indo-west
Paciic (Fiege & ten

records of S. giganteus
and S. giganteus
corniculatus from the
SCS (Paxton & Chou
1997) are likely to
belong rather to the S.

RESULTS
a score does not mean the taxon does not occur there (more
likely is it relects lack of knowledge).
The SCS Annelida is represented by 1257 species comprising
73 families (Table 1). Of these species, at least 289 were
originally described from the region and the remainder
(968) were originally described from outside the region. Of
the 968 species described outside the region, about 41 are
probable misidentiications, given that their type localities
are in boreal, arctic or subantarctic waters; the remainder are
likely to represent a mixture of misidentiications, species
complexes, and truly widespread species, and therefore
should be targets for future systematic studies.
Old records with a generalised location, for example
‘Philippines’ (e.g., in Mörch, 1863; Grube, 1878) or ‘China’
were not included in the checklist because of the high
likelihood that these records would fall outside the limits
of the SCS as deined here.
Similarly, species reported from rivers and streams far from
the sea in countries bordering the SCS, e.g., the frabriciid
Caobangia, were not included.
The majority of species (72%) reported from the SCS occur
in a single subregion, 20% occur in two subregions and 8%
occur in three or more subregions. The poor representation
227
Glasby et al.: Marine Annelida from the South China Sea
in part because the concept of Annelida has changed over
recent years. Comparisons of the better-known families are
more informative. For example, comparing the top six most
diverse families in the SCS (2 LMEs) with igures from
Australia (7 LMEs, data from Hutchings et al. (2000)), we
ind the following: Nereididae (134 SCS/86 AUS species),
Syllidae (100/77+), Polynoidae (76/~87), Serpulidae (71/88),
Spionidae (60/81) and Eunicidae (59/~40). Diversity levels
are similar between the SCS and Australia for four families
(Polynoidae, Serpulidae, Spionidae, Eunicidae), but for
Nereididae and Syllidae, their relative dominance in the
SCS is again apparent. In the case of Nereididae taxonomic
effort is likely to be similar between regions, so the high
diversity of the group in the SCS appears to be real. Reasons
for this could be many, but the ability of many members of
the Nereididae to tolerate low salinities could give this group
selective advantage over other annelid groups in a region
such as the SCS that experiences high freshwater input (river
low and precipitation), particularly at certain times of the
year (Fang et al., 2009). Reasons for both the high diversity
of Syllidae and the low diversity of Scalibregmatidae are
more likely related to taxonomic effort.
of some subregions in the data (subregions 1,4,7) is likely to
be the result of sampling bias, so it is not possible at present
to make general conclusions on endemism at the subregional
or regional (SCS) levels. Lane et al. (2000) also note the
lack of echinoderm data from subregion 7, which includes
the Nansha (= Spratly) island reefal system.
Families showing the highest diversity in the SCS include
Nereididae (134/574/23% species), Syllidae (100/569/18%),
Polynoidae (76/578/13%), Serpulidae (71/629/11%),
Spionidae (60/622/10%), and Eunicidae (59/535/11%);
numbers in order represent SCS species, total number species
in the World (WoRMS ‘show all child taxa’), and SCS
species as a percentage of World species. The Nereididae
and to a lesser extent Syllidae appear to be disproportionally
well represented in the SCS region. At the other end of the
scale, Scalibregmatidae with a single species among 216
worldwide (0.5%) is very poorly represented. At the generic
level, Euniphysa (Eunicidae) has six species within the SCS
out of nine worldwide and is very well represented in the
region; other members occur in the wider Indo-Paciic and
Mediterranean. Euniphysa is a rare example of narrowly
distributed annelid genus. As noted by Lu & Fauchald (2000)
the group likely has a Tethyan origin.
The waters surrounding Singapore, Bangka Straits, and Straits
of Malacca (located in subregion 5) appear to have both Indian
Ocean species and tropical Australian species, suggesting
possible biogeographic overlaps, where a continuous habitat
and temperature range suitable for these species occur. The
number of species reported from the Singapore region is low
compared to the SCS region as a whole or when compared
to the entire subregion 5, which has about 268 species
belonging to 54 families. This is almost certainly due to a
gap in taxonomic knowledge as a result of the intermittent
taxonomic efforts within this part of the SCS over the years
and the lack of studies of pelagic species compared to areas
nearer the Chinese coast (subregions 2 and 6). Taxonomic
efforts in Singapore and its encompassing islands have also
been largely focussed on the intertidal and benthic species
(e.g., Monro, 1931; Chan, 2009; Tan & Chou, 1993, 1994,
1996, 1998; Lee & Glasby, 2015a, b).
A total of 121 annelid species belonging to 37 families
are listed in the waters surrounding Singapore, Bangka
Straits, and Straits of Malacca, within subregion 5 (Table
1). Nereididae again is the most diverse family (24 species),
followed by Eunicidae (14 species). The 121 species include
33 that thus far have only been reported from Singapore.
The SCS region is home to 19 species that are utilised
directly by humans. Twelve species are used as baitworms by
ishers (Antillesoma antillarum (Grube, 1858); Namalycastis

1878. In addition, Perinereis brevicirris and Perinereis
quatrefagesi (Grube, 1878) are also cultured for feed for
the prawn (shrimp) industry. One species, the nereidid
Tylorrhynchus heterochaetus (Quatrefages, 1866), is caught
during spawning (swarming) period and consumed by the
people of southern China and Indo-China. Three species
of sipunculans and one species of echiuran are considered
a delicacy by the people of southern China: Sipunculus
(Sipunculus) nudus Linnaeus, 1766, Siphonosoma australe
australe (Keferstein, 1865), Phascolosoma (Phascolosoma)
arcuatum (Gray, 1828), and Urechis unicinctus (von Drasche,
1881). They form the basis of a variety of dishes eaten there.
