Revision of Hermadion Kinberg, 1856, with a redescription of Hermadion magalhaensi Kinberg, 1856, Adyte hyalina (G. O. Sars, 1873) n. comb. and Neopolynoe acanellae (Verrill, 1881) n. comb. (Polychaeta: Polynoidae) Author Bock, Gordon Author Fiege, Dieter Author Barnich, Ruth text Zootaxa 2010 2554 45 61 journal article 10.5281/zenodo.196874 13b5e906-5602-4ed0-b3b6-759e1dd022d2 1175-5326 196874 Harmothoe Kinberg, 1856 Hermadion fuligineum Baird, 1865 , H. molluscum Ehlers, 1897 , and H. ambiguum Ehlers, 1901 a have already been revised by Barnich et al. (2006) . Due to the presence of cephalic peaks, a neuropodial supraacicular process and bi- and unidentate neurochaetae, these species were referred to Harmothoe . Hermadion fuligineum becoming Harmothoe fulgineum ( Baird, 1865 ) , and the other as junior synonyms of Harmothoe magellanica ( McIntosh, 1885 ) . Unfortunately the type material of Hermadion ornatus Hartman, 1967 and H. africanus Hartman, 1974 deposited in the Los Angeles County Museum (LACM) were not available for study, as the collections are currently being tranferred to a new storage. Hartman (1967) described H. ornatus with cephalic peaks, ventrally inserted lateral antennae, and distinctly bidentate neurochaetae. According to Hartman (1974) only the prostomial characters of H. africanus agree with Harmothoe while the neurochaetae seem to be unidentate. However, Wehe (2006) had the opportunity to study the syntypes of H. africanus together with some additional material (SMF 13611, 13612, and 13614 also reexamined by us) and he found some neurochaetae to be minutely bidentate and neuropodia to have a supra-acicular process. These species are referred here to Harmothoe ornatus ( Hartman, 1967 ) n. comb. and Harmothoe africanus ( Hartman, 1974 ) n. comb. , respectively.
