Lumbrineridae of polychaetous annelids from Japan, with descriptions of six new species
None, Extract from Introduction: "In the present study the lumbrinerids occurring in Japanese waters are recognized for 13 species in four genera, Augeneria, Ninoe, Lumbrineriopsis and Lumbrineris. The genera Augeneria and Lumbrineriopsis are newly added to the Japanese fauna; these are also the first record from the Pacific Ocean area. Material includes six new species, one in Augeneria, one in Ninoe, one in Lumbrineriopsis and three in Lumbrineris. Lumbrineris ezoensis, described from an anterior fragment collected from Hokkaido, is here referred to L. bifurcata (McIntosh), and L. impatiens or L. brevicirra reported from Japan are referred to a new species, L. nipponica. Most specimens were collected by the senior author, while others were collected by the research vessel Tansei Maru (KT) or Hakuho Maru (KH), Ocean Research Institute, University of Tokyo, and by various individuals as stated in Material examined. The present study was undertaken by the junior author, M. Higuchi, as a graduation thesis of the Japan Women's University, Tokyo, and after that the manuscript was reviewed and corrected by the senior author.
