Ampharetidae (Annelida: Polychaeta) from the Red Sea reef Al Fahal (Saudi Arabia) with the description of a new species
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 11 February 2016
Abstract
A new species of Ampharetidae, Amphicteis fiegei sp. nov., is described from the Red Sea reef Al Fahal off Thuwal, Saudi Arabia. It is characterized by the possession of prominent nuchal ridges that are elevated from the prostomium, relatively short paleae, which are few in numbers (five on each side), and transverse rows of cilia in one of its branchial pairs. Furthermore, Samytha storchi Reuscher & Wehe in Wehe, 2009 is recorded for the first time since its original description.
