THE TYPES OF THE POLYCHAETE WORMS OF THE FAM- 

 ILIES POLYNOIDAE AND POLYODONTIDAE IN THE 

 UNITED STATES NATIONAL MUSEUM AND THE DE- 

 SCRIPTION OF A NEW GENUS 



By Olga Hartman 



A SURVEY of the types of annelids of the families Polynoidae and 

 Polyodontidae in the United States National Museum indicates the 

 necessity of several nomenclatorial changes. The first part of this 

 paper is a discussion of some of these types and a revision of some of 

 the genera concerned. The second part lists all the types in the 

 Museum, with changes of names and new combinations indicated. For 

 convenience, type locality, place of publication, and museum catalog 

 number are given. 



Family POLYNOIDAE 

 Genus IPHIONE Kinberg 

 IPHIONE FUSTIS Hoagland 



Figure 35, a 



Iphione ftistis Hoagland, 1920, p. 605 (U.S.N.M. no. 18941 ; Philippine Islands). 



The type may be an immature individual, as already stated by 

 Hoagland. The paired prostomial antennae have their cirrophores 

 and cirrostyles subequal. The place of articulation was not indicated 

 by the describer, but the total length is about as shown. Neuropodia 

 are considerably more oblique that Hoagland has shown, and the 

 neuropodial aciculum projects beyond the Darapodial lobe ; neurocirri 

 are long, digitiform (fig. 35, a).
