Alcyonosyllis gorgoniacola Sun & Yang 2004, new comb.

Description

Alcyonosyllis gorgoniacola (Sun & Yang, 2004) new comb.

Haplosyllis gorgoniacolo Sun & Yang, 2004: 314, figs 182–183.

Type material. Xisha Island, South China Sea, deposited at IOCAS.

Remarks. The originally described smooth non-articulated, dorsally bent cirri, alternating wide and thin, the hooked simple chaetae with a small subterminal tooth and its association to unidentified orange gorgonians, agrees with Alcyonosyllis (Glasby & Watson 2001). In addition, the species name was first spelled as “ gorgoniacolo ” (Sun & Yang 2004), the correct spelling must be “ gorgoniacola ”.
