Scotland, St. Andrews: 1 incomplete spm (NHM 1921.5.1.855/856 as N. cirrosa ). Description. Examined specimens up to 69 mm long for up to 90 chaetigers. See Fig. 13 for length and width measurements. Body segments of about the same width, last segments tapering abruptly. Poor dorsal delineation between anterior segments. Colour in ethanol cream; chaetae amber; aciculae of anterior segments with red tips and in median and posterior segments with dark tips. Eyes not visible. Pharynx distal region with 10 pairs of terminal bifid papillae, separated by small dorsal and ventral elevations; middorsal papilla long and cirriform (Fig. 13D); midventral papilla small, similar in size and shape to distalmost subterminal ones; subdistal region with 22 rows of 4–6 (sometimes 3–7) conical subterminal papillae, extending over 1/2 length of pharynx; proximal region covered with small warts (Fig. 14A). Jaws conical (Fig. 14B). Prostomium subquadrangular, anterior margin straight, posterior margin V-shaped (Fig. 14A); antennae and palps conical, short, subequal in length; palps inserted ventrolaterally on anterior region of prostomium, slightly behind antennae. Nuchal organs rounded. Parapodia biramous; interramal space “U-shaped”, heavily ciliated. Parapodia of chaetiger 1 equal in size to subsequent ones, directed anteriorly, parallel to prostomium; notopodial acicular lobes conical, prechaetal lamellae rudimentary, postchaetal lamellae well developed but not extending beyond acicular lobes, rounded; neuropodial pre- and postchaetal lamellae forming a cylinder covering acicular lobes; dorsal cirri conical; ventral cirri digitiform, with broad base and cirriform tip. Acicular lobes bilobed in anterior and median parapodia, rounded in posterior parapodia; prechaetal lamellae poorly developed, rounded, becoming rudimentary in posterior parapodia; postchaetal lamellae well developed but not extending beyond acicular lobes, rounded, directed dorsaly in neuropodium; dorsal and ventral cirri conical (Fig. 14C–H). Branchiae recurved, short and thick, heavily ciliated; present from chaetigers 7–11 to near posterior end; occupy all interramal space when fully developed, rapidly decrease in size posteriorly and become vestigial or absent in last chaetigers. Chaetae of three kinds: barred chaetae in preacicular position (Fig. 14I), spinulated chaetae in postacicular position (Fig. 14J), and capillary chaetae in neuropodia of chaetiger 1. One acicula per ramus, posterior ones with curved tips (difficult to see in all specimens observed; Fig. 14L). Remarks. Nephtys ciliata was recorded only once for the Mediterranean Sea by Desbruyères et al. (1972), and that is the reason of being included here. Campoy (1982) and Laborda (2004) also include this species in the Iberian Peninsula fauna based on that same reference. However, specimens from that locality were not examined and there are no other records of this species for areas southern than English Channel. Furthermore, the descriptions given by Campoy (1982) and Laborda (2004) mention a wide range of chaetigers where branchiae first appear, which indicates that they may have dealt with a complex of species. We therefore consider those references as doubtful and believe this species have a more circumpolar distribution. Also the references of Hartman (1950) and Imajima and Takeda (1987) refer to the occurrence of the first branchiae on chaetigers 5–7 rather than 7–10. These references must be considered with caution since they probably also include N. pente , another circumpolar species. Distribution. Arctic Ocean; Atlantic Ocean (Greenland, Iceland, Norway, Skagerrak, Kattegat, western and middle Baltic Sea, Denmark, North Sea); Pacific Ocean (Alaska; Bering Sea; Sea of Okhotsk, Japan) (Hartman 1938; Imajima & Takeda 1987; Rainer 1991). There are further reports of this species from the Mediterranean Sea (Spain, as far as the Black Sea) (Campoy 1982; Laborda 2004), but these records require confirmation. Habitat. Sand and mud, from the intertidal to 960 m depth (Rainer 1991; Laborda 2004). : Published as part of Ravara, Ascensão, Cunha, Marina R. & Pleijel, Fredrik, 2010, Nephtyidae (Annelida, Polychaeta) from southern Europe 2682, pp. 1-68 in Zootaxa 2682 (1) on pages 37-38, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.2682.1.1, http://zenodo.org/record/5346231 : {"references": ["Muller, O.
