Pista colini Labrune et al. 2019: 71–83 , figs 2–4.

Diagnosis (for a detailed description, see Labrune et al. 2019). Live specimens with ventral shields divided in two regions, anterior part pinkish, posterior part blood red, dark pigmentation on dorsal side of the upper lip. One pair of unequal-sized pompom-like branchiae inserted on SG II, branchial filaments arranged in spiral around the central axis with dichotomous filaments. Two pairs of lateral lobes on SG II–III; well developed on SG II, with rounded anterior margins, merging with ventral shields; half width of segment, asymmetrical and slightly displaced dorsally on SG III, connected across ventrum; absent on SG IV. Neurochaetae as long-handled avicular uncini on SG V–VI, short-handled thereafter.

Type locality. France, Western Mediterranean Sea , Gulf of Lion, Banyuls-sur-Mer harbour .

Type material. Holotype MNHN-IA-TYPE 1850, four paratypes MNHN-IATYPE 1851 to 1855. Two other paratypes: AM W.50625, AM W.50626.

Distribution. Mediterranean Sea, Gulf of Lion ( Labrune et al. 2019); Aquitanian coast, Bay of Biscay (this study); English Channel, Bay of Seine (this study).

Habitat. Shallow water (depth 3 m), on gravelly sands ( Labrune et al. 2019), coastal waters from depths of 15–50 m, sandy bottoms (this study).

Remarks. Examination of fresh specimens allowed us to add pigmentation patterns to the diagnosis, such as the dark pigmentation on the dorsal side of the upper lip of these animals.
