workshop in November 2008. We are always looking for people with expertise in annelid
families to present identification guides (for UK – north European

previously been presented for Maldanidae, Syllidae, Glyceridae, Goniadidae, Cirratulidae
and Lumbrineridae. Presentations would be welcome for almost any other family,
as well as updates for previously covered groups, where there is new
identification information (not in the most widely used guides) to be circulated.
Families that would be particularly useful include Polynoidae, Sphaerodoridae,
Nereidae, Nephtyidae, Onuphidae, Eunicidae, Paraonidae, Spionidae,
Ampharetidae, Terebellidae and Sabellidae.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
