Description

Annelida Polychaeta IV constitutes a new advance in the knowledge of the Polychaetous Annelids of the coasts of the Iberian Peninsula and the Balearic Islands. The current volume includes a detailed study of the families Glyceridae, Goniadidae, Capitellidae and the families Aphroditidae, Polynoidae, Acoetidae, Sigalionidae y Pholoidae known as "scale worms" (superfamily Aphroditoidea). To achieve this, an in-depth taxonomic and bibliographic review of each family is accomplished, presenting a general introduction, including the most relevant features on their taxonomy, anatomy and systematics, along with identification keys for genera and species. For each of the 111 species covered in this volume, the reader will find a detailed description, presenting their most diagnostic morphological characters, together with illustrations and a summary of the state-of-the-art on their biology and geographical distribution. This volume follows the three previous books on Polychaetes in the FAUNA IBÉRICA series: Volume 21 (San Martin, 2003), 25 (Viéitez et al., 2004) and 36 (Parapar et al., 2012) thus almost fulfilling the review of the clade Aciculata, and starting the study of the "Sedentary" Polychaetes with members of the clade Scolecida.
