Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Freshwater Polychaetes (Annelida) Of North America
Of the known freshwater species, the majority are from South America and Asia with only a small proportion having been collected in North America. There have been several papers dealing with freshwater polychaete species and comprehensive surveys were made by wesenberg-lund Southern (1921) and Stammer It is very probable that there are many more species present and that our lack or knowledge is due to their small size and to the scarcity of collections made with polychaetes in mind as well as the scarcity of specialists willing to work with them. Eight species, representing six genera are included in this paper. Several species are in monotypic genera but the majority are in typical marine genera. The species list in this paper includes three families: Nereidae with six species; Sabellidae with one species; Serpulidae with one species.
