Museum and Art Gallery of the Northern Territory Annelid Collection

The Museum and Art Gallery of the Northern Territory (MAGNT) Annelid Collection comprises about 27,000 lots of registered specimens, including 71 holotypes and 223 paratype lots. The Polychaete marine bristle worms are by far the best represented group, but the collection also includes earthworms and leeches (Clitellata). The Polychaete collection has representatives from marine and estuarine areas throughout Northern Australia, in particular Darwin Harbour, Bing Bong (MacArthur River) and Gove. The main focus of the collection is the Polychaete marine bristle worms. Other worm-like phyla are also held at the MAGNT, including Echiura (spoon worms), Sipuncula (peanut worms), Chaetognatha (arrow worms), Enteropneusta (acorn worms), Nemertea (ribbon worms), Nematoda (round worms), Phoronida, Platyhelminthes (flat worms) and Priapulida. This dataset is of marine species sourced from the Atlas of Living Australia (ALA) January 2019 (https://collections.ala.org.au/public/show/co142). Taxa have been matched to the World Register of Marine Species (WoRMS) and if not then matched to the Australian Faunal Directory (AFD)北领地博物馆与美术馆（Museum and Art Gallery of the Northern Territory, MAGNT）环节动物标本馆藏包含约27000份注册标本批次，其中涵盖71份正模标本与223份副模标本批次。 多毛纲（Polychaeta）海洋刚毛虫是馆藏中占比最高的类群，但该馆藏同时收录蚯蚓与水蛭（环带纲Clitellata）。 该多毛纲馆藏的样本采自澳大利亚北部全域的海洋与河口生境，尤以达尔文港、宾邦（麦克阿瑟河）与戈夫地区为主要采样区域。 该馆藏的核心聚焦类群为多毛纲海洋刚毛虫。北领地博物馆与美术馆同时馆藏其他蠕虫类动物门，包括：螠虫动物门（Echiura，匙形虫）、星虫动物门（Sipuncula，花生虫）、毛颚动物门（Chaetognatha，箭虫）、肠鳃纲（Enteropneusta，柱头虫）、纽形动物门（Nemertea，带虫）、线虫动物门（Nematoda，圆虫）、帚虫动物门（Phoronida）、扁形动物门（Platyhelminthes，扁虫）以及曳鳃动物门（Priapulida）。 本数据集的海洋物种数据源自2019年1月的澳大利亚生物多样性图鉴（Atlas of Living Australia, ALA），数据来源链接为https://collections.ala.org.au/public/show/co142。数据集内的分类单元（Taxa）已与全球海洋物种名录（World Register of Marine Species, WoRMS）完成匹配，若无法匹配则参照澳大利亚动物群名录（Australian Faunal Directory, AFD）完成匹配。
