Description 507-510
The present checklist of polychaetes from the Odisha and West
Bengal coasts was reviewed based on the recent surveys and
published literature. Total 179 species belonging to 119 genera were
found to be mixed with valid names and hence a revised checklist is
prepared. The revised and updated checklist holds 179 species
of eight orders of polychaete fauna comprising of Polyllodocida
(47 %), Eunicida (14 %), Spionida (11 %), Sabellida
(9 %), Terebellida (8 %), Captillida (7 %), Amphinomida
(3 %) and Scoleisida (1 %) placed under 36 families. The current
literature includes checklists and distributional records of phylum
Annelida from Odisha and West Bengal, subsequent validation of
species names arranged alphabetically, providing a valid scientific
name, synonyms, and authorities of the species, and also the date of
published records with the World Register of Marine Species
(WoRMS) and World Polychaeta database.
