Revision of the aphroditoid polychaetes of the family Acoetidae Kinberg (=Polyodontidae Augener) and reestablishment of Acoetes Audouin and Milne-Edwards, 1832, and Euarche Ehlers, 1887

Pettibone, Marian H. Revision of the Aphroditoid Polychaetes of the Family Acoetidae Kinberg (= Polyodontidae Augener) and Reestablishment of Acoetes Audouin and Milne-Edwards, 1832,and Euarche Ehlers, 1887. Smithsonian Contributions to Zoology, number 464, 138 pages, 96 figures, 1989.— The family Acoetidae is reviewed and revised, based on reexamination of type material and published records, as well as on examination of new material. A chronological synopsis of the family, genera, and species, as well as a summary of the general characteristics of the family are included. According to the present study, the family includes 8 genera and 46 species, of which 13 are described as new, as well as one doubtful subspecies. Particularly interesting features in this group include the gigantic sizes of the specimens, tube-dwelling habits and formation of tubes from parapodial spinning glands, the large stalked eyes or ommatophores, and large eversible pharynx or proboscis with denticled jaws and long papillae in connection with a carnivorous life style.
