Begins: "Due to a set of favourable circumstances, this work, which originally had the very modest aim of describing the Tomopterids of the "Liguria", turned into a complete "Review of the Family Tomopteridae" giving the characters of all the twenty-four known species, sixteen of which (including six new species) are described de visu (the others are, for the most part, ancient unrecognizable species)."

ABSTRACT: The morphological characters of the suborder Aphroditiformia of the order Phyllodocemorpha are discussed. Special attention is paid to the beginning of the first stages of heteronomy which is of great importance to the evolution of the Polychaeta. A new system of generic phylogenetic relations is presented for the family Polynoidae which is represented in the suborder by the largest number of genera and species. Two parallel lines of development from many-segmented to few-segmented worms are noted within this family. One hundred and twenty-five species and smaller taxonomic units of Aphroditidae and Polynoidae from areas of the Arctic Ocean and the northwestern part of the Pacific from the Bering Strait to the Gulf of Tonkin inclusively have been described. Many of the generic diagnoses have been added to. Keys to all the taxa are included, along with 17 text illustrations, 69 plates and 415 bibliographic citations.

Translated by Jian-Wen Qiu, Hong Kong Baptist University, from the Chinese version of the paper. Sergio Salazar supplied a pdf file of the original paper, which was kindly provided by Julia Dunaeva, librarian in the Zoological Institute of Saint Petersburg, Russia. The translation was prompted by the comments of Sergio Salazar, who INITIATED the subsequent discussion in JUNE 2006 and JULY 2006 of the taxonomic problems with Capitella capitata in the ANNELIDA list discussion group. For the importance of this paper see especially Sergio Salazar's July 6th comments.
