Abstract


A check-list of 19 polychaetes species belonging to the family Nereididae is made, from the material collected during the Cruises “Fauna Ibérica II, III and IV”. Of these, data on the sampling stations are given. As a result of the identification of nereidid specimens, three new records for the Iberian Peninsula were found, Ceratonereis vittata Langerhans, 1884, Neanthes rubicunda (Ehlers, 1864) and Nereis perivisceralis Claparède, 1864. An updated catalogue is also presented, with the 36 nereidid species known for the Iberian Peninsula.
