Annelida<br />

The region’s polychaete annelid fauna is particularly rich, with 233 species in 46<br />

families. Kudenov (2000) has noted three range extensions, for Phyllodoce medipapillata,<br />

Chaetozone senticosa, and Rhynchospio glutaea. Some species <strong>of</strong> Eumida, Scoloplos, Exogone,<br />

Nephtys, Glycera, and the archaeannelid Polygordius are likely to be undescribed. Seven taxa,<br />

including members <strong>of</strong> the Spirorbidae have not been identified below the generic level. Nineteen<br />

new records from the UAM collection and Exxon Valdez oil spill specimens represent range<br />

extensions.<br />

Hirudinea and Oligochaeta are not included in the data sets (Table 10.3), because we lack<br />

reliable identifications for specimens found in Prince William Sound. At least one species <strong>of</strong><br />

marine leech is present in UAM samples from the adjacent Gulf <strong>of</strong> Alaska. Kozl<strong>of</strong>f (1987) lists<br />

14 leech species with distributions from Oregon north. Oligochaetes have been collected, but no<br />

effort has been made to identify them to family or lower taxon. Austin (1985) lists eight<br />

oligochaete species whose ranges include Alaska or southeast Alaska.<br />

Information on distribution, habitat, and nomenclatural changes have been drawn from<br />

Austin (1985), Banse and Hobson (1968), Berkeley and Berkeley (1948, 1952), Hobson and<br />

Banse (1981), Kudenov (2000) and Ushakov (1955).<br />
