Dear Colleagues,
as you probably know, Dr. Dave Kirtley died a few months ago. At the time
of his death, he was preparing a description of a new species of Lygdamis
(Sabellariidae), which is quite common at Madeira. In a paper on Madeiran
inverts and in my book on marine inverts of Madeira, the Canary Islands
and the Azores, I have called this species L. murata (an identification
confirmed by another polychaetologist prior to publication).
Who is working on Lygdamis/ Sabellariidae and would be willing to
describe this new species in a reasonable time (within no more than a
year) ? I would be willing to dig out a few more, even though this can be
several hours work under water.

Dr. Peter Wirtz
currently at U of Azores,
back at U of Madeira after 27 March and email then again
