Abstract

Tharyx retierei, a new species of bipalpate Cirratulidae (Polychaeta), has been collected from subtidal depths south of Safi, off the Atlantic coast of Morocco. The species differs from all other known bipalpate cirratulids in possessing aristate and pseudocompound neurosetae in posterior segments. The species is described and figured and its affinities are briefly discussed.
