According to the keys of Fauchald (1977) and Rozbaczylo (1980), the analyzed worms belong to the family Sabellidae. At least three families of boring polychaetes have been reported in the literature: Spionidae, Sabellidae, and Cirratulidae. These individuals have an extended vermiform body not divided into segments, but its upper extreme shows a crown of tentacles shaped in a circular ring (that is the reason why they could be confused with Sabellidae polychaetes, although they do not have segmented body and lack bristles). |
