ABSTRACT. - A checklist of polychaetous anneIids from the South China Sea is 

generated from available literature. On record are 661 species belonging to 54 families. 

Biodiversity distribution appears linked to collecting efforts rather than a reflection 

of the real situation. The potential for discovery of new species remains high. 

INTRODUCTION 

This check-list, based mainly on literature reports, lists 661 species ofpolychaetous annelids 

from the South China Sea. The apparently highest biodiversity ranked as mainland China, 

Vietnam, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Singapore, Philippines, Thailand, Malaysia, is due mainly 

to the collecting efforts of residing specialists or expeditions rather than true biodiversity. 

The polychaetes listed belong to 54 families. The families are grouped according to Hartman 

(1959), except for the Eunicidae and related families. We are emphasising that this list is 

primarily based on literature rather than personal knowledge and are presenting references 

for each record. This list is only a baseline; we expect it to change considerably with the 

removal of names as families are revised, and the addition of new species, as the areas of 

the South China Sea become studied more extensively. This is publication number 300 of 

the Commonwealth Key Centre for Biodiversity and Bioresources, Macquarie University.
