Methods Checklist of Shallow-Water Marine Polychaetous Annelida of Florida Thomas H. Perkins This checklist of Florida shallow-water polychaetes, which current research is showing to be a weakly supported monophyletic group (Rouse and Fauchald, 1997), was derived from a variety of sources. These sources include 1) the extensive systematic literature on Florida polychaetes, which begins primarily with the publication on Florida annelids, in German, of Ehlers (1887), and which has not been systematically synthesized to allow for rapid identification; 2) the published results of ecological surveys; 3) data from specimen collections; 4) unpublished data and specimens examined from recently completed estuarine environmentalassessment programs (EMAP) conducted in Florida by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Coastal Oceans Program; and 5) other published and unpublished information from surveys conducted by the State of Florida and by qualified consultants for the state, the federal government, and private organizations. As a result, reliable polychaete identification data are available from almost all areas of the state. The primary specimen repository from which species names were extracted for inclusion on this list is the Marine Specimen Collection housed at the Florida Marine Research Institute, St. Petersburg. Data from the Harbor Branch Oceanographic Museum, Fort Pierce, Florida, were also used. Other specimens from Florida, some of which have been examined but data for which were not generally used in compiling the list, are housed at the Florida Department of Environmental Protection’s central laboratory, Tallahassee, and district offices; in the Texas A&M Oceanographic Collection, College Station, Texas; at Gulf Coast Research Laboratory, Ocean Springs, Mississippi; at Barry Vittor & Associates, Inc., Mobile, Alabama; in collections of the National Museum of Natural History, Washington, D.C.; and in collections of other national and international museums. Citations for most of the literature listed as helpful in identifying Florida polychaetes (see References) were extracted from the Ward and Fauchald bibliography (Ward and Fauchald, 1997) available on the internet. Additional, more recent citations and local references not included in that bibliography are also listed among the polychaete references, resulting in about 500 literature citations that are pertinent to the identification of Florida polychaetes. Criteria used to determine which species names to include in the list were various combinations of the following: 1) location in estuarine and near-coastal waters of the state in depths of about 37 m or less; 2) a moderately skeptical determination by me of the reliability of an identification, continued availability of vouchers that will allow specimens to be reliably identified, or both; and 3) for published “lettered” or unnamed species, the availability of a description and voucher specimens that, with locality data, will allow species to subsequently be identified or described. A few taxa listed as “Genus name” cf. “species name,” based on specimens in the FMRI Marine Specimen Collection that possibly are that species and may not deserve the “cf.”designation have been included on the list. Considering the state of knowledge of Florida polychaetes, this list is a work in progress.There is no doubt that there are names on the list that will prove to be incorrect, and some species may be listed under two or more names.There are specimens available of many undescribed species in Florida waters that are not listed, just as there are species that remain undiscovered. The classification of the Polychaeta is currently unstable, especially at categories higher than family. The system in which the species are reported here is based on the classical system of Pettibone (1982). Another commonly used but different system, that of Fauchald (1977a), was used by the authors of the Taxonomic Guide to the Polychaetes of the Northern Gulf of Mexico (Uebelacker and Johnson, 1984). A new, welldocumented classification system for family groups and higher categories has been proposed (Rouse and Fauchald, 1997). Rouse and Fauchald state that it is unlikely that any new classification will have any longevity, but their system should provide the basis for a stable and phylogenetically correct classification in the future.
