[Annelida] Lysaretidae family doubts

Hi all,

Roberto's original message says "branchiae pectinate in the anterior region (8th -14th setiger) and multiple setae types (pectinate, aciculae, limbate simple and compound, compound bidentate hooded setae) ".  That runs counter to Carrera-Parra's definition "without any kind of hooded hooks; without branchiae" just posted by Geoff.  Roberto also says his specimens are very small and comments that Maxilla I is hard to describe.  Hmm...a clue here.  Perhaps Roberto has something else, not Lysarete at all.  Maybe a Eunicidae?  Marphysa?  

Just a thought.

Hello Roberto,

A quick answer is Lysaretidae is not recognised anymore, and Lysarete
is now in Lumbrineridae.

See: Carrera Parra, L.F. (2006). Phylogenetic analysis of Lumbrineridae
Schmarda, 1861 (Annelida: Polychaeta). Zootaxa 1332: 1–36.

Diagnosis of Lysarete (fide Carrera Parra)

Diagnosis. Prostomium with three antennae, with two pairs of eyes;
notopodia well
developed; without any kind of hooded hooks; without branchiae;
pygidium with anal
cirri; maxillary apparatus with six pairs of maxillae, carriers longer
than MI, joined to
entire base of MI; MI forceps-like with internal accessory teeth, with
attachment lamella;
MII as long as MI, with ligament, wide attachment lamella along 2/3 of
posterior lateral
edge; without connecting plates; MIII completely pigmented, wide
