title: TABLE 4 in Taxonomic update and new discoveries in Nereididae (Polychaeta: Phyllodocida) of the Persian Gulf and Gulf of Oman: two new species and four new records

description: TABLE 4. Comparison of Neanthes species occurring in the Indo–West Pacific based on ten key features identified by Villalobos-Guerrero & Idris (2021, table 2). This table collates species information from original descriptions, redescriptions, and specimens from (near) type localities or this study. Features compared include: number of paragnaths in areas I (AI), III (AIII), V (AV), and VII–VIII (AVII–VIII); merging of areas V and VII–VIII (M); number of bands/rows in area VII–VIII (Bands), with notes on fusion and ventral coverage of the oral ring (F); shape of dorsal ligule (Shape DLi) consistent, enlarged or elongated posteriorly; presence of notopodial prechaetal (PreLo), neuropodial postchaetal (PostLo), superior neuropodial (SupLo) lobes, and homogomph spinigers in subacicular neurochaetae (SubHoS). Unknown features are marked “?”. Authors' abbreviations: LG for de León-González, SV for Salazar-Vallejo.
