Syllidae (Annelida: Phyllodocida) from Lizard Island, Great Barrier Reef, Australia Author Aguado, M. Teresa Author Murray, Anna Author Hutchings, Pat text Zootaxa 2015 4019 1 35 60 journal article 10.11646/zootaxa.4019.1.5 d493fbfe-1444-4801-a13e-1faec03da75f 1175-5326 289475 40FE3B2F-C8A4-4384-8BA2-9FD462E31A8B Trypanosyllis sp. 1 ( Figs 7 A–E) Material examined. AM W.44085, MI QLD 2352. Remarks. This incomplete specimen possesses morphological similarities with Trypanosyllis aeolis Langerhans, 1879 , from Australia ( San Martín et al . 2008b ), especially in the shape of the chaetae and aciculae ( Figs 7 B–E). However, T. aeolis from Australia was described with a pale body and brown dorsal cirri, while the live specimen shown herein has a colouration consisting of three thin red transverse lines per segment, and bright orange distal tips of the dorsal cirri ( Fig. 7 A). Preservation processes might explain these differences in the colour pattern, since San Martín et al . (2008b) described the species from preserved specimens. However, as only one anterior end was found from Lizard Island, we cannot conclude if this specimen completely agrees with T. aeolis and hereby refer to it as Trypanosyllis sp. until more complete specimens are available.
