<i>Marphysa cinari</i>, a new species of Eunicidae (Polychaeta) from the coasts of Turkey (eastern Mediterranean) and re-descriptions of <i>Marphysa kinbergi</i> McIntosh, 1910 and <i>Marphysa disjuncta</i> Hartman, 1961

The present study describes a new polychaete species belonging to the family Eunicidae, <i>Marphysa cinari</i> sp. nov., collected from the Sea of Marmara and the Aegean Sea (eastern Mediterranean), and re-describes <i>M</i><i>arphysa</i><i>disjuncta</i> Hartman, 1961 and <i>M</i><i>arphysa</i><i>kinbergi</i> McIntosh, 1910. The new species is mainly characterized by having unidentate subacicular hooks with a terminal hood and compound falciger chaetae on posterior parapodia. The shape of unidentate hooks of <i>M.</i><i>cinari</i> is a very important character for distinguishing this species from other species. Atlantic species <i>M.</i><i>kinbergi</i> and Pacific species <i>M.</i><i>disjuncta</i> are very close species and the present paper deals with the differences and similarities between them and the new taxon.http://zoobank.org/urn:lsid:zoobank.org:pub:E8503032-81D3-4B4D-AAA0-9164E05E613F
