Abstract:
The original description of Travisia chinensis Grube, 1869 was incomplete, leading to confusion with other species. To clarify the status of this species, we provide a redescription of, and remarks on, T. chinensis based on an examination of the type specimen. We also describe Travisia amoyanus sp. nov. , collected from Xiamen (Amoy), China, and originally identified as T. chinensis by Monro (1934). The new species can be distinguished from its congeners by a combination of the following characters: the total number of segments (34 or 35) and chaetigers (33 or 34), parapodial lappets first from chaetiger 15, and a pygidium with a large ventral triangular cirrus and about six encircling lateral cirri. Genetic distances and phylogenetic analyses based on the mitochondrial ( 16S rRNA ) and nuclear ( 18S rRNA ) genes support the identity of the new species.
