Dear collegues,
I need advices for the determination of Metasychis gotoi (Izuka, 1902)
and Chirimia biceps (M. Sars, 1861) species.
I'm working on the soft bottom Polychaeta community in the north
Adriatic Sea (Croatia).
In the former lists of Polychaeta species for the Adriatic Sea I found
that until now Asychis gotoi and Asychis biceps were recorded. In the
meantime these species obviously changed the names.
In my samples I have found something similar to the Asychis biceps
described in the Fauvel's "Faune de France. Polychetes sedentaires". But
I cannot relie on that literature, since it is pretty out of that. So
the species that I have might be Metasychis gotoi as well...
Can you reccomand me some literature that could help me in the
determination of this genus?
Many thanks,
