Paraonis fulgens (Annelida: Paraonidae), a new record for the marine fauna of Turkey
Abstract
This paper deals with the occurrence of Paraonis fulgens on the coast of Turkey. Three specimens of this species were found at 4 m on sandy mud bottom in İskenderun Bay, north-east Levantine Sea. The morphological and distributional features of the species were explained. The present study described a ventral lobe on chaetigers in the family Paraonidae for the first time.
