*- INTERNET NEWS
-------------
- ANNELIDA mailing list began on 17 November 1995. ANNELIDA takes over some
of the news functions of CHAETOZONE and as a result this newsletter will
cease its regular two-monthly schedule of production. Its exact fate is
undecided, but probably it will appear again in some form next year.
For the benefit of those not already subscribed to the new list:-
"ANNELIDA is an open unmoderated list discussing the scientific study of
Phylum Annelida and of other worms with annelid affinities, encompassing
the polychaetes, the clitellates (oligochaetes and leeches), the
pogonophora, vestimentifera, sipunculans, and echiurids."
To subscribe send the following line in the body of an e-mail
to biosci-server@net.bio.net. (The server software is 'majordomo')
subscribe annelida
Use it or lose it! ANNELIDA will continue as a mailing list until about
May 1996 when an e-mail vote will determine whether it has enough active
members to become a joint USENET newsgroup and mailing list. If the vote
fails ANNELIDA will be removed from BIONET. Therefore it is important
that we continue to subscribe and encourage other colleagues to join
during the trial period. Please do make the effort to send a vote when
asked.
- CAMBRIDGE SCIENTIFIC ABSTRACTS (CSA), publishers of ASFA and Oceanic
Abstracts, offer an Internet Database Service (IDS) by subscription.
As a teaser they have a free demo using the 190,000 abstracts indexed in
1990. Worth a look. You might find something you missed. I did!

has been used to announce the 1995 Nobel Prizes and has the information
on past recipients.

- WOODS HOLE MARINE SPECIMENS DATABASE. A core of locally available
specimens used as research models covering 205 species currently
available through Marine Resources Department catalog. Other resources
such as GenBank and taxonomic information have been integrated into this
system. It includes about twenty five polychaetes, each with a nicely
arranged page, with photographs of some, and links to the taxonomy,
recent literature, NCBI genetic database via National Library of
Medicine, and of course ordering information.

- DEJANEWS RESEARCH SERVICE. This is a very powerful free tool for finding
current USENET articles on a particular subject. USENET is huge and
totally irrelevant to most of us most of the time. If you wish to avoid
reading USENET daily or just need quick access to topical discussion on
something unfamiliar then DejaNews is a great place to start looking.

- ZOOLOGICAL MUSEUM, UNIVERSITY OF COPENHAGEN ON WWW
The Zoological Museum, University of Copenhagen (ZMUC) would like to
announce the opening of its World Wide Web server. It is still a work in
progress, but we feel that there is now enough "meat" on it to warrant
exposure to the world community. CHAETOZONE subscribers will also find a
few wormy pages. The final opening date has not yet been set, but the
server should definitely be available by the middle of December 1995. If
you are interested, check us out at the following URL:

- AONIDELLA
[On 23 Nov 1995 James Blake <jablake@ix.netcom.com>, talking to Taxacom
list regarding theses as publications, said ... ]
" ... I will cite a specific example of where a new genus and species
written up in a dissertation have been erroneously cited as valid
In 1983 my wife, Dr. Nancy Maciolek Blake completed a dissertation on
deep-sea spionid polychaetes. Included in that work were several new
taxa. She immediately worked up and published most of this work in a
series of papers in international journals. However, with changing
careers and other distractions, one paper that would constitute
another 3-4 of the taxa from the dissertation was not completed and
although now in manuscript form, still has not been submitted.
In 1990 while perusing the latest Zoological Record, I was somewhat
shocked to find citation to _Aonidella dayi_ Maciolek, 1983 as part of a
paper published by Lopez-Jamar, E (1989): Bol. Inst. Esp. Oceanogr.
where he found the species on the Iberian Peninsula and proceeded to
"redescribe" it. At the same time, we received a manuscript [from] Dr.
Minoru Imajima on the spionids of Japan where he had also found the
species. We informed Dr. Imajima about the Lopez-Jamar record and he
subsequently published, at our recommendation, the name as: Aonidella
dayi Maciolek in Lopez-Jamar, 1989.
So, names cited from unpublished sources may lead to confusion and
required clean-up. Do not cite names from such unpublished sources unless
you want to become part of the authorship."

*- WHAT IS THE INTERNATIONAL POLYCHAETOLOGY ASSOCIATION?
----------------------------------------------------
From Pat Hutchings (Immediate past President) <path@amsg.Austmus.oz.au>
Quoting our Constitution: "The objectives of the International
Polychaetology Association are to encourage research on Polychaeta and
stimulate others to participate and cooperate through informal meetings
and correspondence; to provide a forum for exchange of ideas; to
establish a means and an opportunity for personal contact and interaction
in aiming for better mutual understanding; to serve as a liaison body
among polychaetologists; and to introduce new students to the workers in
this field."
The Association was formed in 1986 in Copenhagen when Dr Jorgen
Kirkegaard, Convenor of the Second International Polychaete Conference,
proposed the idea and developed a Constitution which was adopted at the
meeting. Basically the function of the Association was to select a venue
for the following Conference and to appoint a person to be the Convenor.
Representatives from countries or country blocks comprised an IPA
Council. Their role was to ensure that the Organising Committee to host
the next Conference was made aware of all the people in that country or
countries who were working on polychaetes. No fees were to be paid and
all people who had enrolled at the Conference became members of the
Association. The second President was Dr David George who was elected
during the Third International Conference at Long Beach and he revised
the Constitution to make it simpler. I replaced David after the fourth
Conference in France and one of the things which I did was to develop a
series of procedures as to how to select the next venue for the meeting
and to ensure that we had a number of proposals to consider. This system
was used in China to select the venue for the sixth meeting to be held in
Brazil in 1998.
While some members of the Council have wanted the Association to become
more active in promoting polychaete research, there has been little
coordinated discussion as to how this could be achieved. Discussions have
centred around a possible Polychaete journal and assistance on taxonomic
questions. One action that was decided in China was that we would form a
Nomenclatural Sub Committee which consists of myself, Kristian Fauchald,
Alex Muir and Tom Miura, and we are currently preparing our first
submission to the International Commission in response to their request
for an opinion on a particular case.
The current International Polychaetology Association President is
Kristian Fauchald <mnh.fauchald@ic.si.edu>, Secretary-Treasurer is Don
Reish (Dept Biol. California State University, Long Beach, California,
USA 90840-3702), and Convenor of the next Conference is Paulo de Cuna
Lana <lana@iguacu.cce.ufpr.br>. The membership consists of all those on
the Secretary-Treasurer's list of participants enrolled for the previous
International meeting, plus persons becoming members after application to
the Secretary-Treasurer.
* - ZOOLOGICAL MUSEUM UNIVERSITY OF COPENHAGEN POLYCHAETE COLLECTION
----------------------------------------------------------------
From Danny Eibye-Jacobsen <dejacobsen@zmuc.ku.dk>
The Zoological Museum, University of Copenhagen is finally moving into
the 20th Century (see announcement of WWW-server elsewhere in this
newsletter). Thus, a number of the sections at the museum are presently
being registered in computer databases. This also applies to the museum's
collection of polychaetes. Many of you may be surprised to learn that our
rather large collection has not previously been catalogued, at least not
in the sense that unique numbers were provided for specific lots. This is
now a thing of the past.
The main goal of this project is to produce a catalogue of the type
material of Polychaeta held at the Zoological Museum, a job which is well
underway but by no means completed. However, the Section's policy is also
to provide catalogue numbers for any material leaving on loan, for all
newly incorporated lots, and for lots recently identified by an
acknowledged authority. Furthermore, anyone may for publication purposes
request registration numbers for specific lots (e.g., for specimens
presently held on loan). All other material will for the time being be
registered only when they meet one of these conditions. Requests should
be sent to: Danny Eibye-Jacobsen, Zoological Museum, University of
Copenhagen, Universitetsparken 15, DK-2100 Copenhagen O, Denmark (tel:
(+45) 35 32 11 15; fax: (+45) 35 32 10 10; E-mail: dejacobsen@zmuc.ku.dk).
Registration will also include probable/possible polychaetes in disguise,
i.e., frenulates, vestimentiferans, and echiurids. Clitellates and
sipunculans are expected to follow sometime in the future. Whether the
polychaete database will be accessible in electronic form has not yet
been decided. I would like to take this opportunity to invite all
polychaete workers to deposit type (or other significant) material in our
collection, where it will be registered and well cared for "in
perpetuity". It will always be available to fellow scientists for study,
either through loans or during a visit to our museum.

* - SABELLA SPALLANZANII DISTRIBUTION
-------------------------------
From Phyllis Knight-Jones <pknight-jones@bryngwyn.demon.co.uk>
We have just returned from the kind hospitality of Jean-Claude Dauvin,
Harry ten Hove and Jacob van der Land at the museums of Paris, Amsterdam
and Leiden. I was looking at sabellids for generic reviews, and also for
material identified as _Sabella_ and _Spirographis_ to complete a review
of _Sabella/Bispira_ in collaboration with Tom Perkins. In Paris I was
particularly interested in material from the Siboga Expedition (Mesnil
and Fauvel, 1939), mainly to confirm the patchy world distribution of
_'Spirographis'_ (= _Sabella_) _spallanzanii_. As readers of Chaetozone
will know there has been great interest in the discovery of a vast
population of this species in Geelong harbour near Melbourne since Carey
and Watson's report (Carey J.M. and Watson J.E., 1992. Benthos of the
muddy bottom habitat of the Geelong arm of Port Phillip Bay, Victoria,
Australia. _The Victorian Naturalist_ pp. 196-202.) I examined the Siboga
material from a reef off Nusa-Laut Island, Indonesia (46m depth), but it
is not _Sabella spallanzanii_ ('Spirographis Spallanzanii'). It is in
fact _Bispira tricyclia_ (Schmarda), the only unispiral _Bispira_ in the
genus (as amended in Perkins and Knight-Jones, 1991). The two species
were wrongly synonymised by Fauvel (eg. 1953).
After very interesting studies on the Amsterdam collections (various
genera), Harry ten Hove accompanied us to Leiden and had the foresight to
search for unregistered (unidentified) sabellid collections, while I
browsed through official holdings. Knowing of my interests in both
Indonesia and _Sabellastarte_, he selected a jar of very large sabellids
labelled 'Kuhl, Java'. Examination proved this to be six specimens of
_Sabella spallanzanii_. Jacob van der Land informed us that Dr Kuhl, a
young short-lived medic, collected these in 1820, but no further details
of location are available. Kuhl was a mainly terrestrial naturalist,
perhaps without naval support, so one might speculate that the material
was gathered in a convenient harbour, perhaps Batavia, now known as
Djakarta.
Now this Indonesian material is identified, 165 years after it was
collected, we have reliable records of _Sabella spallanzanii_ from the
Mediterranean, NW France, Azores, Rio de Janeiro, Java and Australia. The
oldest records are from the Mediterranean and Java, the next oldest
probably Hanson's (1882) descriptions from Rio under 4 different names,
all synonyms with _spallanzanii_. It is interesting to note that these
locations coincide with the old sailing route to Asia, though a notable
absence is the revictualling stop at Cape Town. There, however, the
original harbours are long since under concrete. -- Phyllis Knight-Jones
- SABELLARIIDAE REVISION CORRIGENDA
---------------------------------
From David Kirtley <dwkirtley@igc.apc.org>
Kirtley, D.W., 1994, A review and taxonomic revision of
the family Sabellariidae Johnston, 1865 (Annelida;
Polychaeta). Sabecon Press, Science Series Number 1,
223 pages. CORRIGENDA.
pp. 2 and 31. Subsequent to the publication of this edition, Dr. Mary E.
Petersen, Zoological Museum, University of Copenhagen, went through the
collections there and found three of the original six specimens listed in
an unpublished catalogue by Kroeyer of worms transferred to the
Zoological Museum from the Royal Museum (ZMUC Archives A92, p. 38). The
specimens are labelled "R.[ Roerglas, vial] Serpula caudata Kr., meget
smukt, Vestindien [very beautiful, West Indies], 14/1-56 [14 January
1856, journal date]." The catalogue entry gives the date of collection
as 18/9-45 [18 September, 1845]. The name of the collector is not given.
Dr. Petersen writes that: "Dr. Torben Wolf, ZMUC, pointed out that
Kroeyer was first in the West Indies in 1853 and thus could not have
collected the material in 1845, but that Oersted may have collected it."
The name "Serpula caudata Kr." exists only in the hand-written Kroeyer's
catalog and on the specimen labels. There is no record that Kroeyer ever
formally published this name; therefore, it has no nomenclatural status
(ICZN, 1985:13-17, Articles 8 & 9). Moerch, 1863:96, indicated that
Kroeyer was the original author of the species by including his name
after the binomen _Phragmatopoma caudata_. Dr. Petersen suggests, and I
concur, that the appropriate name for this species should be written as:
_Phragmatopoma caudata_ Kroeyer in Moerch, 1863.
p. 74. The name _Sabellaria spinulosa_ Leuckart, 1849, has been used by
numerous authors for what are now considered to be a number of apparently
unrelated forms. Along with a list of "varieties," the species has been
considered as an example of the "cosmopolitan" distribution of
sabellariid species. Johansson (1927:93), included Iceland (Island) in
the list of localities in the distribution of this species. Hartman
(1959:476), lists the type locality as Iceland and that error is repeated
under Remarks: p. 76. Dr. Petersen also called my attention to the fact
that Leuckart (1849), in a paper entitled "Zur Kenntnis der Fauna von
Island" included a discussion, unrelated to any sabellariid material
collected from Iceland, of a sabellariid species collected from the North
Sea near Helgoland which Frey and Leuckart previously (1847:15) had
thought might be _Amphitrite ostrearia_ Cuvier and they transferred this
species to _Hermella ostrearia_ (Cuvier). Grube (1848: 38) proposed the
name _Sabellaria longispina_ for a species collected from the
Mediterranean (Mittelmeer, perhaps Trieste) by Otto which Grube
considered identical with Frey and Leuckart's _H. ostrearia_ (Cuvier).
Leuckhart (1849:178-179, footnote 3) proposed a new name, _Hermella
spinulosa_, for the species from Helgoland. This species name is listed
in the Material examined on p. 75, (ZMB Q-2253); Nordsee and Trieste); as
is _Sabellaria ostrearia_ (Cuv.) (ZMB Q-4866); Helgoland). The
Mediterranean and North Sea forms should be re-examined and compared to
determine whether or not they belong in the same, or a different group.
p. 185. In the original description of the genus _Bathysabellaria_
Lechapt and Gruet, 1993:243, the presence of an unpaired median organ at
the anterior end of the ventral midline of the prostomium was not noted.
Subsequent studies of an additional new species in this genus (Lechapt
and Kirtley, in preparation) reveal the presence of this feature and a
re-examination of examples of _B. neocaledoniensis_ Lechapt and Gruet,
1993, confirm the presence of this organ. In all other known genera of
Sabellariidae the median organ, if present, is located at, or near, the
anterior dorsal midline; between the opercular peduncles (lobes, stalks).
[-- CORRIGENDA ends]
Dr Kirtley comments: Since I had been assured that the type material of
_Phragmatopoma caudata_ Kroeyer, a major reef-building species on the
western Atlantic coast in the W. hemisphere - had been lost, and since I
believe the name should be conserved - I am pleased that the types are
found and future workers could refer to something better than the
illustrations published by Moerch.
The name "S. spinulosa" has been spread around the globe by polychaete
taxonomists like jelly on bread, as solid proof of the existence of
"cosmopolitan" species. I am also pleased to find out why no one in
Iceland ever answered my inquiries about local sabellariid specimens.
The presence of a ventral median organ may only be of interest to those
who may wonder what the animals use them for anyway, but I think the
structure and position of this organ might be found to be useful
information in analysis of the phylogenetic relationships among various
taxa in Sabellariidae.

- Bruno Pernet <pernetb@zoology.washington.edu>
LARVAL CILIA. I am currently working with Nicole Phillips on a paper
describing feeding by larvae of the polynoid Arctonoe vittata.
Planktotrophic larvae of polynoids (and other scaleworms) lack a
metatroch and bear a long tuft of cilia attached posterior to the
prototroch, on the left side of the mouth. This tuft of cilia plays an
important role in feeding. Can anyone out there help us with this
question: do nephtyid larvae also bear an asymmetrically-placed tuft of
long cilia? Do any chrysopetalid larvae have a similar structure (other
than those of Chrysopetalum debile and Paleonotus bellis, which don't)?
Any references or personal observations would be greatly appreciated.

SPIOPHANES. I'm doing some work on the New Zealand species of family
Spionidae, genus _Spiophanes_. If I can locate sufficient material
elsewhere I would like to carry on into a wider review and clarify a few
taxonomic problems I think I can see. I'd appreciate hearing from anyone
currently interested in this distinctive genus, anyone who has specimens
awaiting identification, or anyone with good museum holdings for loan.

- SECOND EDITION OF POLYCHAETE VOLUME IN TIERWELT DEUTSCHLANDS
[Publisher's flyer translated by Brigitte Hilbig <bhilbig@aol.com>]
Dr. Gesa Hartmann-Schroeder ( [announced for publication in] 1995)
Annelida, Borstenwuermer, Polychaeta. 2nd, revised edition. Series
Title: Die Tierwelt Deutschlands und der angrenzenden Meeresteile nach
ihren Merkmalen und ihrer Lebensweise. Founded 1925 by Prof. Dr.
Friedrich Dahl. 58. Part. About 800 pp., 295 figs., softcover ca. DM 248
(about US dollars 170, the price may be lowered if enough orders come
in).
"Presented is a complete revision of the Polychaeta volume which was
printed in 1971 and quickly sold out. All 554 species are addressed in
taxonomic keys and described extensively with respect to diagnostic
characters, their distribution, their habitat preferences and their modus
of life. Numerous figures complement the descriptions.
In this revised edition the systematics of the polychaetes were updated
according to recent scientific results: 132 species were added, including
the formerly excluded "archiannelids", new records, and some newly
described species. The book does not only treat the polychaetes of the
German coasts, but also those of adjacent areas."
