Branchiomma boholense (Grube, 1878) View in CoL

Branchiomma boholense View in CoL was originally described from the Phillipines. According to Knight-Jones et al. (1991), who examined type material of B. boholense View in CoL , it is a common species in the Indo-West Pacific and occurs in the Mediterranean Sea. It was reported by Çinar (2005) from Turkey but in a later work it was recognized as B. bairdi ( Çinar 2009) View in CoL . Roman et al. (2009) provided the first record of B. boholense View in CoL in the western Mediterranean, as well as the most detailed description and illustrations of morphological features available to date. Surprisingly, this species has not been reported in previous or subsequent papers on sabellid worms in the Mediterranean (Licciano & Giangrande 2008; Giangrande et al. 2012), and Çinar (2009) suggested the re-examination of all the Mediterranean material identified as B. boholense View in CoL because these or at least some might be B. bairdi View in CoL . Both species have similar uncini, bearing 2–3 rows of teeth over the main fang, but also a remarkable difference: B. boholense View in CoL has 1–4 pairs of flattened, tongue-like macrostylodes whereas in B. bairdi View in CoL two pairs of strap–like macrostylodes are present ( Knight-Jones et al. 1991; Roman et al. 2009; Tovar-Hernández et al. 2009a, b). Consequently, detailed reexamination of specimens reported as B. bairdi View in CoL or B. boholense View in CoL is needed because both species are NIS in the Mediterranean Sea and both have distinctive morphological features.
