Abstract |
A total of 9 nemertean species is recorded for the first time from Azorean waters. From a total of 38 individuals, 30 are identified as belonging to 9 different species whereas 8 individuals, which may be either local variants of known species or undescribed forms, are assigned to the Hoplo- or Palaeonemertea. The collection will contribute to part of a molecular phylogenetic study of the genus Tetrastemma. |
