Ver polychète ?

Leslie HARRIS le 24/05/19

Hello -

Are you still interested in the identity of this nice worm? It's in the family Dorvilleidae, either genus Dorvillea or Schistomeringos. The family is grouped together with Eunicidae and other jawed polychaetes and there is a certain resemblance between them. The color pattern is distinctive but found in different species in different regions. On this page is one from the Caribbean https://www.scamit.org/polychaete/ one from Sweden here https://invertebrate.w.uib.no/2015/06/30/the-1st-i... and one from New Zealand

Oui j'y ai pensé aussi, mais il y a quelques différences autres que la couleurs, en particulier la tête, si je compare avec ce que j'ai pour Eunice torquata....
C'est sûr, c'est proche.

Merci Pierre,
