Proceedings of the Biological Society of Washington
Fabricinuda, a new genus of the polychaete family Sabellidae, is described. The genus is unique in lacking a collar on the anterior peristomial ring; having an anterior peristomial ring as long as wide, or longer, and generally longer than the posterior peristomial ring; and having inferior thoracic pseudospatulate notosetae present on setigers 3-8. Two new species are described (F. pseudopalpa and F. pseudocollaris) and three species, Fabriciola limnicola (Hartman), Fabricia bikinii Hartman, and Fabriciola trilobata Fitzhugh, are assigned to this genus and redescribed. Fabriciola mossambica (Day) may be referable to this genus. Fabricinuda is more heterogeneous morphologically than other fabriciin genera but is still monophyletic. A key to species is provided.
