dc.description.abstract |
Polychaete larvae were sorted fi-om a collection of 116 zooplankton samples taken in 76 localities during the GOLCA 84-04 cruise in March-April 1984. Two morphologies were identified in the Chaetopreridae genus Spiochaetopterus: larval types I and II. The morphology of A4 setae dissected from the larvae is compared with A4 setae of erected species from the Pacific. Larvae of Spiochaetopterus type I could belong to S. monroi. From local observation of adults and larvae, and comparison with the first species described in the genus: S. costarum, it appears that this species is not present in the Gulf of California. Although S. costarum was for a long time credited with a widespread distribution throughout the world because of its long planktonic larval development, it is now acknowledged that many reported occurrences were in-correctly attributed to S. costarum, and in consequence its specific area has been restricted ill recent years. This paper confirms that the setal morphology of larvae and adults is very helpful in the identification of planktonic larval stages. |
