Morphological and molecular study of Syllinae (Annelida, Syllidae) from Bermuda, with the description of five new species

Although polychaetes from the Bermuda Archipelago have been studied since the beginning of the twentieth century, syllids have been particularly neglected in this area, which is surprising considering this family is usually a dominant group in marine benthic ecosystems. To fill this knowledge gap, w...

To fill this knowledge gap, we have carried out an extensive analysis of Bermudan Syllidae, combining morphological and molecular data including four nuclear and mitochondrial markers (cytochrome c oxidase subunit I, 18S rRNA, 16S rRNA and 28S rRNA). We have identified and established the phylogenetic position of five new species, Haplosyllis anitae n. sp., Haplosyllis guillei n. sp., Haplosyllis larsi n. sp., Haplosyllis vassiae n. sp. and Syllis laiae n. sp., together with Haplosyllis cf. cephalata. Overall, our results extend the knowledge on the diversity of Syllidae in Bermuda, increasing the number of species present in the area to 25. Our results also recover Opisthosyllis and Syllis as non-monophyletic genera, for which traditional diagnostic morphological features do not accurately reflect their evolutionary histories, and thus we propose that these groups should be reorganized based on molecular charactersP.M.-M. is supported by the research assistant funds from Community of Madrid Government (Programa Investigo 2022) granted to P.Á.-C.
