In this study, 118 Mediomastus specimens collected from four localities along the southeast coast of China were examined. They belonged to an unknown species. We treat them as a new species, described herein. The new species is characterized as follows： （1） chaetigers 1-9 biannulate with chaetal fascicles at midsegment, thereafter multiannulate with chaetal fascicles posterior to midsegment; （2） parapodial ridges on posterior abdomen; （3） possession of bilimbate capillary chaetae on chaetigers 1-4; （4） thoracic hooks with long, straight shaft, hood length about 3-5 times width; （5） abdominal hooks shorter, with developed shoulder and distinct constriction, markedly different from those in thorax; （6） unique staining pattern with methyl green. The present study indicated that Mediomastus species inhabiting Chinese waters might be misidentified as M. californiensis, and that Mediomastus chinensis sp. nov. is widely distributed along the southeast coast of China.展开更多

It has been misidentified as Asychis gangeticus Fauvel, 1932 since Uschakov and Wu （1962）. Here, we recognized it as a new species based on combination of the following characters： dark-brown pigmentation spots on nuchal grooves and first three chaetigers; glandular pattern on chaetigers 4-6; preanal achaetigerous segments absent; anal plaque trumpet- shaped with a disc-shaped dorsal lobe; notochaetae consisting of geniculate capillaries and fine capillaries with or without spinose spiral bands; neurochaetae presented as a single row of rostrate uncini. Asychis gangeticus differ from the new species in having no pigmentations on body and a triangular dorsal lobe of anal plaque. Distribution region of this species have moved northward significantly from sea area south of Changjiang Estuary since the 1950s.展开更多

Polychaetes are indicators to assess marine pollution. The aim of this study was to examine the effects of brine discharge over softbottom polychaete community in Chabahar Bay. Forty-two sediment samples were collected from seven stations in pre summer monsoon （April 2011） and post winter monsoon （October 2011） using Van Veen grab sampler. Changes in the polychaeta data assemblages were analyzed using univariate and multivariate techniques. Thirty-one polychaete species were identified with the highest abundance in station 6 in pre monsoon period and the lowest abundance in station 1 in pre monsoon. The results showed that the abundance, richness and diversity indices were decreased in the stations near the discharges area comparing to control stations far from the brine discharges zone. CCA （Canonical correspondence analysis） showed that salinity and temperature have influenced the community structure of polychaeta.展开更多
