Title

A new species of the genus Aricidea ( Acmira ) Hartley, 1981 (Polychaeta: Paraonidae) from Chilika Lagoon, east coast of India

Abstract

One new species of the family Paraonidae Cerruti, 1909, belonging to the genus Aricidea Webster, 1879, and subgenus Acmira, is described from the Chilika Lagoon on the east coast of India. The species, Aricidea (Acmira) chilikensis sp. n. can be distinguished from other known species of the genus by the presence of a single long arista at the distal end of the modified neurochaetae, median antenna widest at the base and tapering to blunt end, anteriorly short branchiae which gradually increase in size moving posteriorly. Aricidea (Acmira) chilikensis sp. n. is the only species under the subgenus described from a brackish water habitat.
