A new species of polychaete worm, <i>Tylonereis heterochaeta</i> (Polychaeta: Nereididae) from Singapore
A new species of polychaete worm from Changi beach, Singapore, Tylonereis heterochaeta (Nereididae) is described. This is also the first record of the genus Tylonereis Fauvel from Singapore. The new species is closely related to T. fauveli Southern, the main differences being in the presence of a distinct group of heterogomph setae, which occur from the first setiger at the ventral setigerous group, and in proboscis formula for T. heterochaeta.
