Resurrection of <i>Glyphohesione</i> Friedrich, 1950, with redescription of <i>G. klatti</i> Friedrich, 1950 and description of <i>G. longocirrata</i> (Polychaeta: Hesionidae)
Proceedings of the Biological Society of Washington
The formerly monotypic genus Glyphohesione Friedrich, 1950 is removed from synonymy with Synelmis Chamberlin, 1919 and emended. The type species, G. klatti Friedrich, 1950, from northern European waters, is redescribed, and G. longocirrata, a new species from the east coast of North America, is described. Glyphohesione is transferred from the Pilargidae to the Hesionidae, where it was originally placed, as the pilargid stem-species might have evolved from a hesionid species by progenesis.
