Remarks: Hermodice carunculata resembles Eurythoe complanata wiih which ii is often con- fused by non-specialists, in thai both species arc long-bodied lire-worms. The two species differ most noticeably in the development of the caruncle. This structure is long and flexuose with poorly developed, usually completely hidden, lat- eral folds in I'., complanata; it is wide and ovate, with very obvious lateral folds in //. carunculata. Family Phyllodocidae Anaitidcs near multiseriata Rioja, 1941 Anaitides multiseriata Rioja. 1941, pp. 684-687. pi. I. figs. 2-6; Hartman, 1968, pp. 237-238, 4 figs. Material examined: Playa Juan Chaco, 5 September 1971 (I); Venado Beach, 14 July 1969 (17). Distribution: Anaitidcs multiseriata is known from western Mexico and Southern California: the present records are from Pacific Panama and Colombia. Remarks: The present specimens agree with A, multiseriata in most characters, but differ in the color pattern. Anaitides multiseriata has a series of dark transverse bars with light-colored mid-dorsal spots; the specimens reported herein are nearly uniformly grey. In addition, A. multi- seriata has a characteristic H-shaped pattern on the prostomium; this pattern is absent in the present specimens. The dorsal cirri are slightly more pointed in the present specimens than in A. multiseriata. Further identification will have to await a complete re-evaluation of the specific characters used to separate the many species in the genus Anaitides.
