Revision of the taxonomy of Polycirrus Grube, 1850 (Annelida: Terebellida: Polycirridae)
The large polychaete genus Polycirrus (Terebellida: Polycirridae) is revised based on a morphological study of the type material of most of the approximately 74 nominal species; 59 species, including a new species, P. coibensis n.sp., from the Pacific coast of Panama, are accepted as valid.
