Paraonidae (Annelida: Polychaeta) of the inlet of Zarautz (Basque Coast, Bay of Biscay), with new records from the Atlantic and the Iberian Coasts.
Numerous polychetes (7132 individuals) belonging to the family Paraonidae (Annelida: Polychaeta) were collected in sublittoral (7 to 50 m depth) sandy and muddy-sand bottoms of the inlet of Zarautz (Basque coast, Bay of Biscay, NE Atlantic). Eleven species belonging to 4 genera Levinsenia, Cirrophorus, Paradoneis and Aricidea were identified. Among them, Paradoneis ilvana Castelli, 1985 and Aricidea pseudoarticulata Hobson, 1972 are new records for the Atlantic and East Atlantic waters, respectively; Aricidea laubieri Hartley, 1981 and Aricidea roberti Hartley, 1984 are new records for the Iberian coasts. Also, A. fragilis mediterranea Laubier & Ramos (1974) is considered a junior synonym of A. pseudoarticulata.
