Abstract

Five new species of spionid polychaetes from Oahu, Hawaii are described: Australospio mokapu, Laonice papillibranchiae, Polydora kaneohe, Polydora pilikia, and Pygospio muscularis. Ecological data and known distribution around the island of Oahu are included. A table summarizing the major morphological characteristics of the species of Pygospio is provided, as well as a list of the 29 known species of spionids from Hawaii, including information on their habitats in Hawaiian waters and their zoogeographical distribution.
