Description of a new species of Sphaerosyllis from Australia and New Zealand (Polychaeta: Syllidae: Exogoninae)
Proceedings of the Biological Society of Washington
Examination of several specimens of the genus Sphaerosyllis from Australia, loaned by the Australian Museum, as well as specimens of this genus from New Zealand given by Dr. Nathan W. Riser, revealed the presence of a new species described in this paper as Sphaerosyllis nathani. This new species is characterized by having very long dorsal cirri and very long papillae on the dorsal and ventral surfaces.
