Harmothoe imbricata. — AMOUREUX et al. 1978: 65.
° Harmothoe imbricata. — BARNICH & FIEGE 2000: 1899.
Regional distribution: Red Sea.
Annotated checklist of polychaetes of the Arabian Seas 109
[?] Harmothoe impar (Johnston, 1839)
Polynoe impar Johnston, 1839: 436. Type locality/origin: Berwick Bay (Great Britain, NE Atlantic).
Harmothoe cf. impar. — AMOUREUX et al. 1980: 388.
° Harmothoe impar. — BARNICH & FIEGE 2000: 1906.
Regional distribution: Red Sea.
Remarks: AMOUREUX et al. (1980) only tentatively identified their specimen as belonging to
H. impar. Therefore, this record is questionable and has to be checked.
Harmothoe minuta (Potts, 1910) – nomen dubium
Polynoe? minuta Potts, 1910: 337. Type locality/origin: “S. Male” (Maldives, Indian Ocean).
Harmothoe minuta. — FAUVEL 1933 a: 38.
Harmothoe minuta. — FAUVEL 1933 b: 131.
° Harmothoe minuta. — BARNICH & FIEGE 2000: 1926.
Regional distribution: Red Sea.
Remarks: According to BARNICH & FIEGE (2000), this species is doubtful, since the original
description is poor and the type specimen indeterminable. Thus records of H. minuta from the
Red Sea need to be checked.
[?] Harmothoe spinifera (Ehlers, 1864)
Polynoe (Antinoe) spinifera Ehlers, 1864: 95. Type locality/origin: “Quarnero” (Croatia, Adriatic Sea).
Harmothoe cf. spinifera. — AMOUREUX et al. 1980: 388.
° Harmothoe spinifera. — BARNICH & FIEGE 2000: 1894.
Regional distribution: Red Sea.
Remarks: The occurrence of this species in the Red Sea needs to be checked, since AMOUREUX
et al. (1980) only tentatively referred their specimens to H. spinifera.
Hermadion africanus Hartman, 1974
Hermadion africanus Hartman, 1974 a: 204. Type locality/origin: “Portuguese East Africa” (Mozambique, Indian Ocean).
Regional distribution: Gulf of Oman.
Remarks: This species has only been recorded once. As type specimen an individual from
Mozambique was chosen by HARTMAN (1974 a), but she also reported the species from the Gulf
of Oman.
