<strong>Annotated</strong> <strong>checklist</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>polychaete</strong>s <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Arabian Seas 101<br />

Pholoe minuta (Fabricius, 1780)<br />

Aphrodita minuta Fabricius, 1780: 314. Type locality/origin: “Fauna Groenlandica” (Greenland, N Atlantic, Arctic Ocean).<br />

Pholoe minuta. — AMOUREUX et al. 1978: 72.<br />

Pholoe minuta. — AMOUREUX 1983 c: 368.<br />

° Pholoe minuta. — PETERSEN 1998: 1373.<br />

Regional distribution: Red Sea.<br />

Remarks: Unfortunately, <strong>the</strong> genus Pholoe Johnston, 1839 has not been revised completely<br />

yet. As indicated by PETERSEN (1998) <strong>species</strong> <strong>of</strong> Pholoe are difficult to identify and <strong>the</strong>refore<br />

misidentifications are frequent in <strong>the</strong> literature. Pholoe minuta (Fabricius, 1780) has been widely<br />

reported, but was not covered in <strong>the</strong> partial revision <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> family by PETTIBONE (1992 a).<br />

According to PETERSEN (1998), this <strong>species</strong> does not occur in European waters and it is only<br />

present in <strong>the</strong> western North Atlantic. Therefore it seems unlikely that P. minuta occurs in <strong>the</strong> Red<br />

Sea. However, as <strong>the</strong> respective specimens have not been checked for this study, P. minuta has to<br />

be treated as a valid record for <strong>the</strong> region.<br />

Pholoides dorsipapillatus (Marenzeller, 1893)<br />

Pholoe dorsipapillata Marenzeller, 1893: 30. Type locality/origin: “nördl. von Benghazi an der afrikanischen Küste […] im<br />

Hafen von Santorin” (Libya, Greece, Mediterranean Sea).<br />

* Peisidice aspersa. — ROSENFELDT 1989: 217 [not Johnson, 1897].<br />

* Peisidice dorsipapillata. — HARTMAN 1974 a: 210, 194.<br />

° Pholoides dorsipapillatus. — PETTIBONE 1992 a: 16.<br />

Regional distribution: Red Sea, Gulf <strong>of</strong> Oman.<br />

Family Phyllodocidae Ørsted, 1843 a<br />

Eteone sp.<br />

Etone sp. — ROSENFELDT 1989: 220.<br />

Regional distribution: Red Sea.<br />

Remarks: This is <strong>the</strong> only record <strong>of</strong> this valid genus for <strong>the</strong> Arabian region.<br />

Eulalia magalaensis Kinberg, 1866<br />

Eulalia magalaensis Kinberg, 1866 b: 241. Type locality/origin: “Fretum Magalhaense juxta insulam Buket” (Strait <strong>of</strong><br />

Magellan, Chile).<br />

Eulalia (Pterocirrus) magalhaensis [sic]. — FAUVEL 1919 b: 364.<br />

Eulalia (Pterocirrus) magalhaensis [sic]. — FAUVEL 1957: 5.<br />

Steggoa magalhaensis [sic]. — HARTMANN-SCHRÖDER 1960: 72.<br />

Steggoa magalaensis. — MOHAMMAD 1976: 132.<br />

Eulalia magalhensis [sic]. — AMOUREUX et al. 1978: 78.<br />

Eulalia magalaensis. — BEN-ELIAHU & SAFRIEL 1982: 388.<br />

° Eulalia magalaensis. — PLEIJEL 1991: 255.<br />

Regional distribution: Red Sea, Gulf <strong>of</strong> Aden, Arabian Gulf.<br />

Eulalia manca Gravier, 1900 – nomen dubium<br />

Eulalia manca Gravier, 1900: 209. Type locality/origin: Djibouti (Gulf <strong>of</strong> Aden).<br />

Eulalia manca. — HARTMAN 1974 b: 613.<br />

° Eulalia manca. — EIBYE-JACOBSEN 1991: 127.<br />

Regional distribution: Gulf <strong>of</strong> Aden.<br />

Remarks: According to EIBYE-JACOBSEN (1991), this <strong>species</strong> is indeterminable. It might be a<br />

junior synonym <strong>of</strong> Pterocirrus magalaensis Kinberg, 1866 b.
