<strong>Annotated</strong> <strong>checklist</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>polychaete</strong> <strong>species</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />
seas surrounding <strong>the</strong> Arabian Peninsula: Red Sea, Gulf<br />
<strong>of</strong> Aden, Arabian Sea, Gulf <strong>of</strong> Oman, Arabian Gulf<br />

Abstract: Based on <strong>the</strong> literature, all records <strong>of</strong> Polychaeta from <strong>the</strong> seas surrounding <strong>the</strong> Arabian Peninsula, i.e. <strong>the</strong> Red Sea,<br />
Gulf <strong>of</strong> Aden, Arabian Sea, Gulf <strong>of</strong> Oman and Arabian Gulf, were reviewed, and a list <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> valid <strong>species</strong> recognised from this<br />
area is provided. For each <strong>species</strong>, information on synonyms, type locality and distribution is supplied, toge<strong>the</strong>r with taxonomic<br />
remarks where necessary. Altoge<strong>the</strong>r 62 families and 334 genera have been recorded from <strong>the</strong> area, comprising 807 valid taxa,<br />
i.e. 788 <strong>species</strong>, 16 sub<strong>species</strong> and three <strong>species</strong> groups. Based on this census, 161 taxa (20 %) can be considered endemic to <strong>the</strong><br />
Arabian region. The bibliography included comprises all references <strong>of</strong> Polychaeta from this region as well as literature used to<br />
check <strong>the</strong> taxonomic status and <strong>the</strong> original descriptions <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>species</strong> listed. By presenting a complete overview <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> valid<br />
<strong>species</strong> this work summarises our current knowledge <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> diversity <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>polychaete</strong> fauna <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> seas surrounding <strong>the</strong> Arabian<br />
Peninsula, providing baseline data for future investigations.<br />
INTRODUCTION<br />
The Indo-West Pacific is known to be <strong>the</strong> marine region with <strong>the</strong> highest biodiversity world-wide<br />
(EKMAN 1953; BRIGGS 1974, 1996), especially <strong>the</strong> Malay Archipelago, which is regarded as a centre
8 T. WEHE & D. FIEGE<br />
<strong>of</strong> evolution. The nor<strong>the</strong>rnmost parts <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Indian Ocean, i.e. <strong>the</strong> seas around <strong>the</strong> Arabian<br />
Peninsula, including <strong>the</strong> Red Sea, <strong>the</strong> Gulf <strong>of</strong> Aden, <strong>the</strong> Arabian Sea, <strong>the</strong> Gulf <strong>of</strong> Oman and <strong>the</strong><br />
Arabian Gulf, are also regarded as highly diverse regions, encompassing a large number <strong>of</strong> endemic<br />
<strong>species</strong>, especially in <strong>the</strong> Red Sea (HEAD 1987 a, SHEPPARD et al. 1992). This holds true especially<br />
for certain groups, such as fishes, echinoderms and corals (ORMOND & EDWARDS 1987; SMITH et<br />
al. 1987; KLAUSEWITZ 1989; PRICE 1982, 1983; CAMPBELL 1987; SHEPPARD & SHEPPARD 1991;<br />
SHEPPARD et al. 1992). It is assumed that <strong>the</strong> presence <strong>of</strong> such a high number <strong>of</strong> endemic <strong>species</strong> –<br />
e.g. Arabian region: 11.3 % <strong>of</strong> zooxan<strong>the</strong>llate corals (SHEPPARD et al. 1992), 17 % <strong>of</strong> reef fishes<br />
(SHEPPARD et al. 1992); Red Sea: 33-70 % <strong>of</strong> crinoids, depending on depth (CAMPBELL 1987),<br />
23 % <strong>of</strong> holothuroids (CAMPBELL 1987), 13 % <strong>of</strong> asteroids (CAMPBELL 1987) – is due to <strong>the</strong><br />
geological and hydrographical history <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> area and <strong>the</strong> extreme values <strong>of</strong> abiotic factors such as<br />
high salinity and temperature, especially in <strong>the</strong> Red Sea and <strong>the</strong> Arabian Gulf. Based on <strong>the</strong> degree<br />
<strong>of</strong> endemism and o<strong>the</strong>r distribution patterns, different approaches have been made, depending on<br />
<strong>the</strong> group <strong>of</strong> animals, to establish <strong>the</strong> Arabian region or even parts <strong>of</strong> it as a subdivision <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />
Indo-West Pacific (e.g. KNOX 1957; KLAUSEWITZ 1989; SHEPPARD & SHEPPARD 1991; BRIGGS 1974,<br />
1996). However, as discussed in SHEPPARD et al. (1992), it would seem sensible to classify <strong>the</strong><br />
whole Arabian region as a subdivision <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Indo-West Pacific.<br />
With regard to o<strong>the</strong>r taxa, data on diversity and endemic <strong>species</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Arabian region are<br />
ei<strong>the</strong>r not available or have not yet been summarised. This is true for <strong>the</strong> majority <strong>of</strong> invertebrate<br />
groups including <strong>the</strong> polychaetous annelids. HEAD (1987 b) remarks for <strong>the</strong> Red Sea: “The<br />
<strong>polychaete</strong> fauna <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Red Sea is well known …”. However, as in o<strong>the</strong>r taxa mentioned in<br />
EDWARDS & HEAD (1987), he provides no data for <strong>the</strong> total number <strong>of</strong> <strong>species</strong> or any statement<br />
with regard to endemics for <strong>the</strong> <strong>polychaete</strong>s <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Red Sea.<br />
Although a number <strong>of</strong> important studies on <strong>the</strong> <strong>polychaete</strong> fauna <strong>of</strong> various parts <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Arabian<br />
region have been carried out (e.g. GRUBE 1868 b, 1869; GRAVIER 1899 a, 1899 b, 1900, 1902, 1906,<br />
1908; FAUVEL 1911, 1919, 1927 a, 1951 a, 1951 b, 1951 c, 1951 d; CROSSLAND 1923; POTTS 1928;<br />
MONRO 1937; WESENBERG-LUND 1949; HARTMANN-SCHRÖDER 1960; DAY 1965; FISHELSON &<br />
RULLIER 1969; KISELEVA 1971; MOHAMMAD 1971, 1973, 1980; VINE 1972; PETER 1973; BEN-ELIAHU<br />
1975 a, 1975 b, 1976 a, 1976 b, 1977 a, 1977 b, 1977 c; AMOUREUX et al. 1978; VINE & BAILEY-<br />
BROCK 1984 and ROSENFELDT 1989), <strong>the</strong>re is no comprehensive work ei<strong>the</strong>r for <strong>the</strong> respective seas<br />
surrounding <strong>the</strong> Arabian Peninsula or for <strong>the</strong> whole region, which would provide data on <strong>species</strong><br />
diversity, endemics, geographical distribution etc. KNOX (1957) made a first attempt to summarise<br />
<strong>the</strong> information available on <strong>polychaete</strong> diversity within <strong>the</strong> Indo-Pacific, including also data for<br />
<strong>the</strong> Red Sea and Arabian Sea, mainly based on <strong>the</strong> work <strong>of</strong> WESENBERG-LUND (1949). However,<br />
<strong>the</strong> <strong>checklist</strong> presented here supersedes <strong>the</strong> data given by KNOX (1957) and WESENBERG-LUND<br />
(1949) for <strong>the</strong>se regions. HARTMAN (1974 a, 1974 b) published a catalogue <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>species</strong> from<br />
India and from <strong>the</strong> nor<strong>the</strong>rn Indian Ocean respectively, including <strong>the</strong> Arabian region, but her<br />
catalogue is far from being complete, especially with regard to <strong>the</strong> latter area.<br />
In order to obtain information on <strong>the</strong> diversity and zoogeography <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> fauna for comparison<br />
with o<strong>the</strong>r areas, an inventory <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> regional fauna is necessary. Therefore, <strong>the</strong> main objectives <strong>of</strong><br />
<strong>the</strong> <strong>checklist</strong> presented here are: (1) to provide a complete, up to date overview <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>polychaete</strong><br />
<strong>species</strong> recorded from <strong>the</strong> Arabian region, based on <strong>the</strong> literature, thus summarising our current<br />
knowledge <strong>of</strong> <strong>polychaete</strong> diversity around <strong>the</strong> Arabian Peninsula, (2) to provide baseline data for<br />
future revisionary work based on <strong>the</strong> examination <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> respective specimens and (3) to provide<br />
an idea <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>species</strong> that are to be expected in <strong>the</strong> area and a bibliography <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> relevant<br />
literature; both would facilitate ecologists’ and fieldworkers’ work and <strong>the</strong> latter could be used in<br />
order to facilitate <strong>the</strong> identification <strong>of</strong> <strong>species</strong>.
Area covered<br />
<strong>Annotated</strong> <strong>checklist</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>polychaete</strong>s <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Arabian Seas 9<br />
Fig. 1: Map <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> area investigated showing <strong>the</strong> seas surrounding <strong>the</strong> Arabian Peninsula.<br />
The area treated in this paper comprises <strong>the</strong> following marine regions (see Fig. 1), listed in<br />
anticlockwise direction around <strong>the</strong> Arabian Peninsula: (1) The Suez Canal. Taking account <strong>of</strong><br />
Lessepsian migration (POR 1978), it seems legitimate to include records from <strong>the</strong> Suez Canal<br />
within this <strong>checklist</strong>, as its fauna is <strong>of</strong> predominantly Red Sea ra<strong>the</strong>r than Mediterranean origin.<br />
The Suez Canal thus represents <strong>the</strong> north-westernmost part <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> whole Arabian marine region.<br />
(2) The Red Sea with its two nor<strong>the</strong>rn branches, <strong>the</strong> Gulf <strong>of</strong> Suez and <strong>the</strong> Gulf <strong>of</strong> Aqaba. (3) The<br />
Gulf <strong>of</strong> Aden, representing <strong>the</strong> connection between <strong>the</strong> Red Sea and <strong>the</strong> Indian Ocean. (4) The<br />
Arabian Sea, <strong>the</strong> nor<strong>the</strong>rnmost part <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Indian Ocean between <strong>the</strong> south coast <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Arabian<br />
Peninsula and <strong>the</strong> Indian subcontinent. (5) The Gulf <strong>of</strong> Oman, connecting <strong>the</strong> Indian Ocean with<br />
<strong>the</strong> shallow Arabian Gulf. (6) The Arabian Gulf itself.

Regarding <strong>the</strong> delimitation <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Arabian Sea to <strong>the</strong> south, only publications referring to<br />
‘Arabian Sea’ in <strong>the</strong>ir title, and those in which <strong>the</strong> location <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>species</strong> recorded is explicitly cited<br />
as ‘Arabian Sea’, were taken into consideration, e.g. <strong>the</strong> publication by PETER (1973) ‘New Records<br />
<strong>of</strong> Some Pelagic Polychaetes from <strong>the</strong> Arabian Sea …’ or respective <strong>species</strong> reported in ‘The Fauna<br />
<strong>of</strong> India’ by FAUVEL (1953). Species recorded from <strong>the</strong> coastal waters <strong>of</strong> East Africa, Pakistan, India<br />
or any islands (e.g. <strong>the</strong> Laccadives) without <strong>the</strong> geographical statement ‘Arabian’ were not taken<br />
into account, e.g. ‘Polychaetes <strong>of</strong> Karachi’ by AZIZ (1938) or ‘Polychaetous annelids from <strong>the</strong><br />
Karachi coast’ by ISHAQ & MUSTAQUIM (1996). The delimitation <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Arabian Sea from <strong>the</strong> rest<br />
<strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Indian Ocean within this work is <strong>the</strong>refore more in terms <strong>of</strong> usage <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> respective<br />
geographical vocabulary, ra<strong>the</strong>r than in terms <strong>of</strong> geographical boundaries. For practical reasons this<br />
procedure seems reasonable, especially as <strong>the</strong> Indian subcontinent has been <strong>the</strong> subject <strong>of</strong> several<br />
o<strong>the</strong>r publications (e.g. FAUVEL 1932, 1953; HARTMAN 1974 a, 1974 b).<br />
For historical reasons, different names have been in use for <strong>the</strong> seas around <strong>the</strong> Arabian<br />
Peninsula in <strong>the</strong> past. The terminology used in this work follows SHEPPARD et al. (1992), with <strong>the</strong><br />
exception <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Arabian Gulf. SHEPPARD et al. (1992) only use <strong>the</strong> name ‘The Gulf’. However,<br />
this ambiguous word could lead to misinterpretations concerning information on distribution, as<br />
<strong>the</strong>re are four o<strong>the</strong>r ‘Gulfs’ in <strong>the</strong> region; thus, in this <strong>checklist</strong> <strong>the</strong> term ‘Arabian Gulf’ is used<br />
throughout.<br />
Preparation and arrangement <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>checklist</strong><br />
For <strong>the</strong> <strong>checklist</strong>, <strong>species</strong> names recorded in publications concerning <strong>the</strong> Arabian region were<br />
compiled, checked for <strong>the</strong>ir validity and synonyms made evident. This <strong>checklist</strong> is based solely on<br />
data presented in <strong>the</strong> literature and no specimens were examined, or descriptions compared. It<br />
represents a list <strong>of</strong> <strong>species</strong> currently considered as valid in <strong>the</strong> <strong>polychaete</strong> literature. The occurrence<br />
<strong>of</strong> all <strong>the</strong> <strong>species</strong> and specimens recorded (with <strong>the</strong> exception <strong>of</strong> those marked with *; see below)<br />
needs to be confirmed if <strong>the</strong>y have not yet been treated in a revisionary work, since <strong>the</strong>re may be<br />
misidentifications in <strong>the</strong> original references. This <strong>checklist</strong> intends to stimulate such work.<br />
Families, genera and <strong>species</strong> are arranged in alphabetical order, to facilitate <strong>the</strong> search for any<br />
given valid taxon. The use <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> family names follows FAUCHALD & ROUSE (1997). An alphabetical<br />
index at <strong>the</strong> end <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> paper lists <strong>the</strong> valid <strong>species</strong> names as well as <strong>the</strong> available synonyms.<br />
The synonymy <strong>of</strong> each <strong>species</strong> contains citations <strong>of</strong> (1) <strong>the</strong> original description, including<br />
information on <strong>the</strong> type locality or <strong>the</strong> origin <strong>of</strong> specimens, as cited in <strong>the</strong> original references<br />
(N.B.: <strong>the</strong>re is <strong>of</strong>ten no precise type locality mentioned o<strong>the</strong>r than <strong>the</strong> assumed distribution <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />
<strong>species</strong> or different collecting sites; <strong>the</strong>refore, <strong>the</strong> expression “Type locality/origin” is used<br />
throughout), (2) all records and synonyms known from <strong>the</strong> area covered and (3) records from <strong>the</strong><br />
literature that have been used to check <strong>the</strong> taxonomic status <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> respective <strong>species</strong>. Additionally,<br />
information on <strong>the</strong> distribution <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>species</strong> within <strong>the</strong> Arabian region and, where necessary,<br />
taxonomic remarks are supplied.<br />
In order to check <strong>the</strong> validity <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>species</strong> names reported, <strong>the</strong> most recent literature was<br />
used, preferably <strong>the</strong> latest taxonomic revision or review. A degree sign (°) marks <strong>the</strong> publication<br />
used for verification. Never<strong>the</strong>less, <strong>the</strong> recurrent citation <strong>of</strong> Olga HARTMAN’s ‘Catalogue <strong>of</strong><br />
polychaetous annelids <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> world’ (1959, 1965 a) indicates <strong>the</strong> scarcity <strong>of</strong> such basic and<br />
important work. All taxa names recorded in <strong>the</strong> current manuscript and each <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> respective lists<br />
<strong>of</strong> synonyms are based on <strong>the</strong> particular references indicated by “°”. Records marked with an<br />
asterisk (*) were verified specifically by <strong>the</strong> author(s) <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> reference marked with “°”, based on
<strong>Annotated</strong> <strong>checklist</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>polychaete</strong>s <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Arabian Seas 11<br />
specimens examined or descriptions. These records can <strong>the</strong>refore be regarded as valid, i.e. <strong>the</strong><br />
occurrence <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>se <strong>species</strong> is confirmed. Question-marks in square brackets ([?]) used in <strong>the</strong><br />
synonymy reflect <strong>the</strong> opinion <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> authors <strong>of</strong> this paper. All o<strong>the</strong>r question-marks originate from<br />
<strong>the</strong> references cited. Thus, taxa are listed as questionable and indicated with “[?]” if <strong>the</strong>y had been<br />
only tentatively identified in <strong>the</strong> original references or for o<strong>the</strong>r reasons which are explained in <strong>the</strong><br />
‘Remarks’ section.<br />
Reports <strong>of</strong> <strong>species</strong> identified to generic level only are listed if <strong>the</strong>re are no o<strong>the</strong>r records <strong>of</strong> that<br />
taxon. Species with a wider distribution within <strong>the</strong> Arabian region are regarded as ‘endemic <strong>species</strong><br />
sensu lato’.<br />
The bibliography provides an overview <strong>of</strong> (1) all publications dealing with <strong>polychaete</strong>s from<br />
<strong>the</strong> region, (2) almost every important revision published to date and (3) all original descriptions<br />
<strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> recognised valid <strong>species</strong>.<br />
In addition to <strong>the</strong>se references <strong>the</strong>re are a number <strong>of</strong> o<strong>the</strong>r works that deal mainly with<br />
ecological aspects. Sometimes <strong>the</strong>y include extensive <strong>species</strong> lists, including <strong>polychaete</strong>s, but<br />
unfortunately without any descriptions or comments (see chapter ‘Additional references’, e.g.<br />
REMANE & SCHULZ 1964; HALIM 1969; BASSON 1977; MERGNER 1979; MCCAIN 1984 a, 1984 b;<br />
DEXTER 1987; JAWEIR & HABASH 1987; COLES & MCCAIN 1990; ISMAIL 1992; GAGE et al. 1995;<br />
TÜRKAY 1996; LAMONT & GAGE 2000; LEVIN et al. 2000). Records <strong>of</strong> <strong>polychaete</strong>s from such<br />
publications were not considered in <strong>the</strong> present study, with <strong>the</strong> exception <strong>of</strong> records from lists<br />
prepared by well-known polychaetologists, e.g. AMOUREUX et al. (1980), AMOUREUX (1983 c),<br />
which were included.<br />
Records from publications by BEN-ELIAHU (1989, 1991) and BEN-ELIAHU & TEN HOVE<br />
(1992), concerning <strong>the</strong> phenomenon <strong>of</strong> Lessepsian migration from a Mediterranean point <strong>of</strong> view<br />
but also mentioning <strong>species</strong> from <strong>the</strong> Red Sea, are likewise not included in <strong>the</strong> list (see chapter<br />
‘Additional references’). The same is true for records that can be found in identification guides for<br />
<strong>the</strong> fauna <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Arabian region, e.g. JONES (1986) or VINE (1986). STAGL et al. (1996) provided a<br />
list <strong>of</strong> specimens collected during <strong>the</strong> Red Sea expeditions <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> ‘Pola’ (1895-1898), currently<br />
deposited in <strong>the</strong> collections <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Natural History Museum in Vienna. The names <strong>of</strong> <strong>polychaete</strong><br />
<strong>species</strong> listed <strong>the</strong>rein are taken from Marenzeller’s note book and are not available according to<br />
<strong>the</strong> ICZN (International Code <strong>of</strong> Zoological Nomenclature). These names are also not included<br />
in <strong>the</strong> <strong>checklist</strong>. The same applies to records from unpublished reports (e.g. BEN-ELIAHU 1972;<br />
FENCHEL & HYLLEBERG 1973; FIEGE 1993; O’DONELL 1981, 1982, 1984, 1986), although some<br />
contain detailed <strong>species</strong> descriptions and are well illustrated.<br />
Though none <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>se references have been taken into account for <strong>the</strong> <strong>checklist</strong>, it seems<br />
useful to list <strong>the</strong>m in <strong>the</strong> chapter ‘Additional references’ as a source for fur<strong>the</strong>r information and,<br />
more importantly, as <strong>the</strong>y provide potential access to specimens already collected.<br />
Remarks on <strong>the</strong> publications <strong>of</strong> Gravier, Savigny and Grube and Delle Chiaje<br />
There is some confusion in <strong>the</strong> literature about <strong>the</strong> correct dates <strong>of</strong> Gravier’s publications from<br />
<strong>the</strong> Red Sea. There are several different issues <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> same works and thus some new <strong>species</strong> names<br />
were introduced twice or more in different years. Therefore <strong>the</strong> publication dates have been<br />
checked by us based on <strong>the</strong> original editions and <strong>the</strong> correct dates are given in <strong>the</strong> bibliography.<br />
Ano<strong>the</strong>r problem concerning Gravier’s papers is <strong>the</strong> geographical position <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> localities mentioned.<br />
Gravier published a number <strong>of</strong> papers referring to ‘la Mer Rouge’ (Red Sea) in <strong>the</strong>ir respective<br />
titles. Consequently, some later authors (e.g. HARTMAN 1959, 1974 a, 1974 b; PETTIBONE
12 T. WEHE & D. FIEGE<br />
1970 a) referred to <strong>the</strong> Red Sea as type locality <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>species</strong> described. Unfortunately, this is not<br />
always correct, since most <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> new <strong>species</strong> (not all, e.g. those described form <strong>the</strong> Island <strong>of</strong> Perim)<br />
are described from Djibouti or <strong>the</strong> Gulf <strong>of</strong> Tadjoura, even if <strong>the</strong> title implies <strong>the</strong> Red Sea. Djibouti<br />
and <strong>the</strong> Gulf <strong>of</strong> Tadjoura are not part <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Red Sea; instead, <strong>the</strong>y represent <strong>the</strong> westernmost part<br />
<strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Gulf <strong>of</strong> Aden, i.e. south <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Straits <strong>of</strong> Bab el Mandab, which is considered to be <strong>the</strong><br />
sou<strong>the</strong>rn limit <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Red Sea.<br />
The problems concerning date and authorship <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>species</strong> described by Savigny or Lamarck<br />
are well known and discussed in <strong>the</strong> literature (e.g. FAUCHALD 1992 a). Unfortunately, <strong>the</strong> ICZN<br />
is ambiguous in this case and <strong>the</strong> authorship <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>se <strong>species</strong> is still disputed. We agree with<br />
FAUCHALD (1992 a) that <strong>the</strong> <strong>species</strong> mentioned in LAMARCK (1818) cannot be cited as <strong>the</strong> work <strong>of</strong><br />
Savigny published in 1822. But likewise we do not consider LAMARCK (1818) as <strong>the</strong> author <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />
respective <strong>species</strong> (FAUCHALD 1992 a; but see also FAUCHALD & ROUSE 1997, e.g. p. 92: “Amphinomidae<br />
Savigny in Lamarck, 1818”!), since he explicitly quoted from a manuscript prepared by<br />
Savigny (see also footnote in HEPPEL 1963: 443 and FAUCHALD 1992 a). Thus according to<br />
§ 50.1.1 <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> ICZN, <strong>the</strong> credit <strong>of</strong> authorship belongs to Savigny and <strong>species</strong> names should be<br />
cited as: Savigny in Lamarck, 1818.<br />
Likewise, some <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>species</strong> descriptions given in GRUBE (1869) are partly based on a<br />
manuscript by Ehrenberg, as pointed out by GRUBE (1869: 485). Additionally, Grube listed<br />
Ehrenberg as co-author for <strong>the</strong>se <strong>species</strong>. Therefore <strong>the</strong> correct citation is Ehrenberg & Grube in<br />
GRUBE (1869).<br />
Publication dates <strong>of</strong> Delle Chiaje’s ‘Memorie …’ and ‘Descrizione …’ works are confused and<br />
have led to various different citations in subsequent literature. The dates given here are based on<br />
<strong>the</strong> information provided by MUIR (1989), SHERBORN (1922-1932) and ZIBROWIUS (1972).<br />
Status quo <strong>of</strong> Arabian <strong>polychaete</strong>s<br />
For <strong>the</strong> area covered by this <strong>checklist</strong> 878 <strong>species</strong>, 17 sub<strong>species</strong> and four <strong>species</strong> groups <strong>of</strong><br />
<strong>polychaete</strong>s belonging to 359 genera are reported in <strong>the</strong> literature, representing 788 valid <strong>species</strong>,<br />
16 valid sub<strong>species</strong> and three <strong>species</strong> groups belonging to 62 families and 334 genera (see Appendix,<br />
Table 1).<br />
For 21 genera, 69 <strong>species</strong>, one sub<strong>species</strong> and one <strong>species</strong> group, <strong>the</strong> occurrence in <strong>the</strong> area<br />
covered is questionable; 21 <strong>species</strong> are regarded as nomina dubia; 15 <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> 334 genera are only<br />
reported, with no specific identification. Additionally, one endemic freshwater <strong>species</strong> from Oman<br />
is recognised. A comparison <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> different seas shows that <strong>species</strong> diversity is highest in <strong>the</strong> Red<br />
Sea (567 taxa), followed by <strong>the</strong> Arabian Gulf (231), <strong>the</strong> Gulf <strong>of</strong> Aden (177), <strong>the</strong> Arabian Sea<br />
(141), <strong>the</strong> Suez Canal (91) and <strong>the</strong> Gulf <strong>of</strong> Oman (60).<br />
Of <strong>the</strong> 788 <strong>species</strong> (16 sub<strong>species</strong>) described from <strong>the</strong> region, 151 (10) are endemic, i.e. 20 %<br />
<strong>of</strong> all taxa. Of <strong>the</strong>se 161 <strong>species</strong> and sub<strong>species</strong>, 19 are endemic sensu lato, which means that <strong>the</strong>y<br />
occur in more than one <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> respective seas, but not outside <strong>the</strong> Arabian region. The distribution<br />
<strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>se endemics within <strong>the</strong> Arabian region is as follows: Red Sea 70 <strong>species</strong> (5 sub<strong>species</strong>) [plus<br />
14 (1) sensu lato], Arabian Gulf 29 (2) [3 (1) s.l.], Gulf <strong>of</strong> Aden 16 (2) [12 (2) s.l.], Arabian Sea<br />
12 (1) [2 s.l.], Suez Canal 4 [2 (1) s.l.], Gulf <strong>of</strong> Oman 2 [3 s.l.], Oman 1 (freshwater). These can<br />
be expressed in terms <strong>of</strong> percentage: Red Sea (13 % endemic taxa sensu stricto / 16 % with<br />
endemic taxa sensu lato), Arabian Gulf (13 % / 15 %), Gulf <strong>of</strong> Aden (10 % / 18 %), Arabian Sea<br />
(9 % / 11 %), Suez Canal (4 % / 8 %), Gulf <strong>of</strong> Oman (3 % / 8 %). Information on <strong>species</strong><br />
numbers, distribution and endemics <strong>of</strong> each family is summarised in <strong>the</strong> Appendix, Table 2.
<strong>Annotated</strong> <strong>checklist</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>polychaete</strong>s <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Arabian Seas 13<br />
KNOX (1957) made a first approach to record <strong>polychaete</strong> distribution within <strong>the</strong> Indo-Pacific.<br />
According to <strong>the</strong> occurrence <strong>of</strong> <strong>species</strong> with endemic, cosmopolitan, circumtropical and o<strong>the</strong>r<br />
distribution patterns, he divided <strong>the</strong> Indo-Pacific into 12 distinct regions, with possibly a fur<strong>the</strong>r<br />
Arabian Sea region. Although he explicitly cited <strong>the</strong> work <strong>of</strong> WESENBERG-LUND (1949), for<br />
unknown reasons <strong>the</strong> Arabian Gulf was not considered. For <strong>the</strong> Red Sea 218 <strong>species</strong> (40 <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>m<br />
endemic, i.e. 18 %) and for <strong>the</strong> Arabian Sea 128 <strong>species</strong> (19 <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>m endemic, i.e. 14 %),<br />
belonging to <strong>the</strong> 28 “more important” families, are reported by KNOX (1957). Unfortunately, <strong>the</strong><br />
bibliography given by this author is very poor (even though he states that <strong>the</strong> information was<br />
collected from more than 200 publications, only four references are cited) and it is not possible to<br />
recognise from which publications <strong>the</strong> information was drawn. Thus it is difficult to evaluate <strong>the</strong><br />
data presented in KNOX’s (1957) paper. Since all <strong>species</strong>-rich families are listed, it can be concluded<br />
that <strong>the</strong> absolute number <strong>of</strong> <strong>species</strong> recognised today is much higher, at least concerning <strong>the</strong> Red<br />
Sea, but probably for <strong>the</strong> whole Indo-Pacific, while <strong>the</strong> rate <strong>of</strong> endemic <strong>species</strong> in <strong>the</strong> Red Sea and<br />
<strong>the</strong> Arabian Sea has remained almost unchanged.<br />
There are no reliable data available concerning <strong>the</strong> world-wide <strong>species</strong> number and distribution<br />
<strong>of</strong> Polychaeta and only a few marine regions have been subject to detailed faunistic studies to<br />
date. Therefore, an estimation <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> diversity <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Arabian region is difficult and at present can<br />
only be preliminary. FAUCHALD (1977) lists 897 genera and about 6800 <strong>species</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>polychaete</strong>s<br />
world-wide, HARTMANN-SCHRÖDER (1993) reports 13,000 <strong>species</strong> and WESTHEIDE (1996) estimates<br />
<strong>the</strong> <strong>species</strong> number to be about 10,000. According to GLASBY et al. (2000), <strong>the</strong> world-wide number<br />
<strong>of</strong> <strong>polychaete</strong> <strong>species</strong> is about 8500, belonging to 1100 genera. Considering this range <strong>of</strong> <strong>species</strong><br />
numbers, about 6-12 % <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> known <strong>species</strong> (30-37 % <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> genera) occur in <strong>the</strong> seas around<br />
<strong>the</strong> Arabian Peninsula.<br />
In o<strong>the</strong>r marine regions, <strong>the</strong> following data can be found in <strong>the</strong> literature. In <strong>the</strong> far eastern<br />
seas <strong>of</strong> Russia (NW Pacific) some 400 <strong>species</strong> seem to occur, <strong>of</strong> which at least 25 % are endemic<br />
(USHAKOV 1965). From <strong>the</strong> South African region about 800 <strong>species</strong> are reported by DAY (1967 a,<br />
1967 b), <strong>of</strong> which 36 % seem to be endemic. UEBELACKER et al. (1984) state that 289 genera and<br />
593 <strong>species</strong> are known to occur in <strong>the</strong> Gulf <strong>of</strong> Mexico; 243 <strong>species</strong> are considered to be new to<br />
science, i.e. about 40 % <strong>of</strong> all <strong>species</strong> might be endemic. GAMBI et al. (1985) mentioned that about<br />
800 <strong>species</strong> occur in <strong>the</strong> Mediterranean Sea, unfortunately without data concerning endemic<br />
<strong>species</strong>. HARTMANN-SCHRÖDER (1996) reported 558 <strong>species</strong> from <strong>the</strong> North and Baltic Seas, with<br />
no endemics known to occur. GLASBY et al. (2000) list 420 genera and about 1140 <strong>species</strong> from<br />
Australian waters. BLAKE & HILBIG (1994) and BLAKE et al. (1995, 1996, 2000) gave information<br />
on 192 genera and 445 <strong>species</strong>, about 150 being endemic, from <strong>the</strong> coastal regions <strong>of</strong> California.<br />
Ignoring <strong>the</strong> fact that comparisons <strong>of</strong> different faunas should be based on similar conditions<br />
in terms <strong>of</strong> size and structure <strong>of</strong> biotopes and ecological requirements, <strong>the</strong> following general<br />
conclusions may be drawn: (1) The <strong>polychaete</strong> fauna <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Arabian region, particularly <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Red<br />
Sea, is one <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> richest world-wide in terms <strong>of</strong> absolute <strong>species</strong> number. (2) Regarding <strong>the</strong><br />
geographical position within <strong>the</strong> tropics and subtropics and <strong>the</strong> diversity <strong>of</strong> habitats, <strong>the</strong> <strong>species</strong><br />
diversity seems not to be extraordinarily high, since <strong>species</strong> numbers are almost <strong>the</strong> same in <strong>the</strong><br />
Mediterranean Sea or <strong>the</strong> South African region. (3) Moreover, regarding <strong>the</strong> rate <strong>of</strong> endemic<br />
<strong>species</strong>, <strong>the</strong> Arabian region seems not to be as rich as o<strong>the</strong>r regions mentioned above.<br />
However, as a word <strong>of</strong> caution, <strong>the</strong>se data might be representative primarily <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> research<br />
carried out to date ra<strong>the</strong>r than representing genuine zoogeographical patterns. Likewise, at least<br />
some <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> endemics reported herein may turn out to be synonyms <strong>of</strong> <strong>species</strong> with a wider<br />
distribution or may also become known from localities outside <strong>the</strong> Arabian region following<br />
future research.

Regional distribution: Red Sea, Gulf <strong>of</strong> Aden, Arabian Gulf.<br />
Remarks: The <strong>species</strong> is known to have a cosmopolitan distribution, but its taxonomy is as<br />
yet unclear. According to PETERSEN (1984 a, 1984 b), it might be a <strong>species</strong>-complex. Moreover, it<br />
seems that <strong>the</strong> name C. variopedatus is not available. The work by RENIER (1804) is listed in <strong>the</strong><br />
Official Index <strong>of</strong> rejected or invalid works in zoological nomenclature (MELVILLE & SMITH 1987).<br />
MELVILLE (1983) made an application to <strong>the</strong> International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature<br />
to keep <strong>the</strong> name available but, according to Petersen (pers. comm.), <strong>the</strong> name has not<br />
been conserved and <strong>the</strong> case is still on hold. Since C. variopedatus is a very common name and <strong>the</strong><br />
<strong>species</strong> is also subject to various ecological research programmes, it seems reasonable to us to use<br />
<strong>the</strong> name C. variopedatus for <strong>the</strong> purpose <strong>of</strong> this <strong>checklist</strong>.

MONRO (1937), however, did not describe a new <strong>species</strong> under <strong>the</strong> name G. eximia, he just<br />
reported a new record <strong>of</strong> this <strong>species</strong> that was originally described by EHLERS (1900). Obviously<br />
HARTMAN (1974 b) referred to her world-wide <strong>species</strong> catalogue (HARTMAN 1959), where she<br />
already had listed <strong>the</strong> record by MONRO (1937) as a distinct <strong>species</strong>, besides <strong>the</strong> one described by<br />

Remarks: RENIER (1804) is cited as author <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>species</strong> in HARTMAN (1959). It seems that<br />
<strong>the</strong> name L. coccinea is not available. The work by RENIER (1804) is listed in <strong>the</strong> Official Index <strong>of</strong><br />
rejected or invalid works in zoological nomenclature (MELVILLE & SMITH 1987). However, we do<br />
not know if an application has been made to keep <strong>the</strong> name available (as was <strong>the</strong> case in Chaetopterus<br />
variopedatus) and if it has been conserved or not. For <strong>the</strong> purpose <strong>of</strong> this <strong>checklist</strong> it seems<br />
reasonable to us to list <strong>the</strong> <strong>species</strong> as L. coccinea (Renier, 1804).<br />

in HARTMAN (1959). Since Lumbriconereis gracilis Ehlers, 1868 was only tentatively referred<br />
to Lumbrineris coccinea by her, we consider L. gracilis (Grube, 1868) as a valid <strong>species</strong>.

be checked. Since HARTMAN (1974 b) referred to WESENBERG-LUND (1949), she obviously confused<br />

Remarks: Unfortunately, <strong>the</strong> genus Pholoe Johnston, 1839 has not been revised completely<br />
yet. As indicated by PETERSEN (1998) <strong>species</strong> <strong>of</strong> Pholoe are difficult to identify and <strong>the</strong>refore<br />
misidentifications are frequent in <strong>the</strong> literature. Pholoe minuta (Fabricius, 1780) has been widely<br />
reported, but was not covered in <strong>the</strong> partial revision <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> family by PETTIBONE (1992 a).<br />
According to PETERSEN (1998), this <strong>species</strong> does not occur in European waters and it is only<br />
present in <strong>the</strong> western North Atlantic. Therefore it seems unlikely that P. minuta occurs in <strong>the</strong> Red<br />
Sea. However, as <strong>the</strong> respective specimens have not been checked for this study, P. minuta has to<br />
be treated as a valid record for <strong>the</strong> region.<br />

author <strong>of</strong> this <strong>species</strong>, but as already mentioned by QUATREFAGES (1866) <strong>the</strong> year <strong>of</strong> description<br />
has to be 1822. According to P. KNIGHT-JONES & MACKIE (2000), <strong>the</strong> name S. indica is preoccupied<br />
and <strong>the</strong>refore not available. As a replacement name Sabellastarte sanctjosephi was<br />
suggested, which was already regarded as a synonym <strong>of</strong> S. indica by HARTMAN (1959). Since <strong>the</strong><br />

<strong>Annotated</strong> <strong>checklist</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>polychaete</strong>s <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Arabian Seas 125<br />

Remarks: As discussed in NOGUEIRA & TEN HOVE (2000) <strong>the</strong> taxonomy <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> very similar<br />
genera Salmacina and Filograna is confused and <strong>species</strong> within this complex are difficult to<br />
distinguish, which led to records indicating a cosmopolitan distribution <strong>of</strong> ‘Filograna implexa’.<br />
However, all tropical records seem doubtful according to NOGUEIRA & TEN HOVE (2000), since<br />
Filograna implexa is a boreal <strong>species</strong>. According to HARTMAN (1959), <strong>the</strong> original description <strong>of</strong><br />
Filograna implexa was published by BERKELEY in SARS (1851), whereas FAUCHALD (1977) mentioned<br />
BERKELEY (1828). We follow NOGUEIRA & TEN HOVE (2000), who considered BERKELEY<br />
(1835) as <strong>the</strong> correct author and year <strong>of</strong> this <strong>species</strong>. BERKELEY (1828) gave a description <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />

Remarks: TEN HOVE (1975) pointed out that <strong>the</strong>re are many misidentifications in <strong>the</strong> genus<br />
Vermiliopsis and proposed to place a number <strong>of</strong> polymorphic <strong>species</strong> into a group called V.<br />
infundibulum/glandigera-group. The specimens <strong>of</strong> V. acanthophora reported by MONRO (1937) and<br />
MOHAMMAD (1971) belong to V. infundibulum/glandigera-complex, according to ten Hove (pers.<br />
comm.), who examined <strong>the</strong> respective specimens; fur<strong>the</strong>rmore all records <strong>of</strong> V. pygidialis (Willey,<br />
1905) belong to this <strong>species</strong>-group. The records <strong>of</strong> V. infundibulum in <strong>the</strong> Red Sea are to be<br />
considered doubtful, as this is a Mediterranean <strong>species</strong> excluded from entering <strong>the</strong> Red Sea via <strong>the</strong><br />
Suez Canal (Lessepsian migration) in view <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> unidirectional migration in all groups (ten Hove,<br />
pers. comm.).<br />

genera Brania Quatrefages, 1866, Grubea Quatrefages, 1866, Grubeosyllis Verrill, 1900, and<br />
Pseudobrania San Martín, 1984 a. According to him, Grubea is an invalid genus, preoccupied in<br />
Platyhelmin<strong>the</strong>s (see VERRILL 1900), and Pseudobrania, erected by SAN MARTÍN (1984 a), is a junior<br />
synonym <strong>of</strong> Grubeosyllis, while Brania and Grubeosyllis are valid genera. MOHAMMAD (1980)<br />
referred Grubea balani to Brania. SAN MARTÍN (1984 a) erected Pseudobrania for a distinct group<br />
<strong>of</strong> <strong>species</strong> previously included in Brania, including Pseudobrania balani. This <strong>species</strong> is here<br />
referred to Grubeosyllis, following SAN MARTÍN (1984 a).<br />

Regional distribution: Red Sea, Arabian Gulf.<br />
Remarks: HOLTHE (1986) listed L. annulifilis, L. medusa and L. medusa annulifilis as valid<br />
<strong>species</strong> and sub<strong>species</strong>, respectively. However, since L. annulifilis and L. medusa annulifilis are<br />
based on <strong>the</strong> same type specimen, it is questionable whe<strong>the</strong>r <strong>the</strong> two <strong>species</strong> L. annulifilis and<br />
L. medusa can be regarded as valid, or likewise <strong>the</strong> sub<strong>species</strong> L. medusa annuliflis and L. medusa<br />
medusa.<br />
FAUVEL (1930) already discussed <strong>the</strong> similarity <strong>of</strong> L. medusa and L. annulifilis and synonymised<br />
both <strong>species</strong>, regarding <strong>the</strong>m as varieties <strong>of</strong> L. medusa. In his comprehensive work on<br />
<strong>polychaete</strong>s in <strong>the</strong> collections <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Indian Museum, Calcutta, FAUVEL (1932) still regarded L.<br />
annulifilis “at best a mere variety <strong>of</strong> L. medusa”, but gave it <strong>the</strong> subspecific status Loimia medusa<br />
annulifilis.<br />
Following FAUVEL (1930, 1932), it is likely that L. annulifilis and L. medusa may be varieties<br />
<strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> same <strong>species</strong> and <strong>the</strong> validity <strong>of</strong> L. annulifilis seems to be questionable.<br />
