038987A7FFD1FF887FE431A0FBD8FF52.taxon	discussion	REMARKS: Antennae reach chaetiger 10 – 15 (Fig. 4 A). First 6 – 7 chaetigers with tridentate falcigers (Fig. 4 E, F), bidentate falcigers were reported in previous descriptions (Arias, Paxton, 2015) but were absent in the studied material. Subulate ventral cirri present on the first five chaetigers (Fig. 4 B, C). Branchiae simple strap-like, starting from chaetiger 5. Subacicular hooks from chaetiger 10 (Fig. 4 D). Three clades are recovered within A. bilineata (Fig. 3 A – C). Two clades (A and C) have the typical color pattern of two large spots on the peristomium continuing into two longitudinal orange stripes on the dorsal side. Additional lateral pigmented spots are visible on each segment at the bases of the parapodia (Figs 1 A, 2 A). This pattern was named by Arias & Paxton (2015) as morph (1). Morph (2) was described as “ peristomium and first 3 – 4 chaetigers with two large brownish spots almost filling dorsal surface of segment, sometimes coalescing medially; from chaetiger 4 – 5 to median region two longitudinal dorsal pigmented stripes discoursing laterally close to parapodia ” (Arias, Paxton, 2015). This morph was not present in the studied material. Clade C comprised specimens collected off Mallorca, Spain with slightly pigmented peristomium and a pair of lateral pigmented dots on each segment (Figs 1 B, 2 B) representing the third previously unknown color morph in this species complex.	en	Borisova, P.
