Treatment

Key to the families of Terebellidae View in CoL sensu lato

1. Notopodia, if present, elongate, roughly cylindrical, distally bilobed; branchiae absent; ventrum of anterior segments with paired glandular pads ( Fig. 2B, D View Fig ) ................ Polycirridae Malmgren, 1866

– Notopodia always present, short, conical, distally bi- or single lobed; branchiae usually present; development and shape of ventral glandular areas of anterior segments variable between families, but never as paired mid-ventral pads ................................................................................................ 2

2. Thoracic uncini acicular ( Figs 1A View Fig , 7D View Fig ) .................................... Trichobranchidae Malmgren, 1866 View in CoL

– Thoracic uncini avicular ( Fig. 1B–F View Fig ) ............................................................................................... 3

3. Neuropodia with uncini in double rows on some segments ( Fig. 6E View Fig ); branchiae, if present, cirriform, arborescent or spiralled .................................................... Terebellidae Johnston, 1846 View in CoL sensu stricto

– Neuropodia with uncini in single rows throughout; branchiae rarely absent, always cirriform ....... 4

4. Upper lip expanded, distinctly longer than wide ( Figs 3F View Fig , 4A View Fig ); neuropodia poorly developed throughout, as nearly sessile ridges and distinctly low pinnules on thoracic and abdominal segments, respectively ............................................. Telothelepodidae Nogueira, Fitzhugh & Hutchings, 2013

– Upper lip short, hood-like, about as wide as long, frequently circular ( Figs 3D–E View Fig , 4B–C View Fig ); welldeveloped neuropodia throughout, as fleshy ridges and elongate pinnules on thoracic and abdominal segments, respectively ............................................................................ Thelepodidae Hessle, 1917
