Newly Recorded Species of Magelona (Annelida: Polychaeta: Magelonidae) from the Egyptian Waters
This article focuses on the study of polychaetes, particularly the species of Magelona along the eastern Mediterranean Egyptian coast. Samples were collected from 18 sites during September 2021 using a Van Veen grab. The following species were collected: Magelona cf. falcifera (Mortimer and Mackie, 2003), Magelona equilamellae (Harmelin, 1964) and Magelona filiformis minuta (Wilson, 1959) (Annelida: Polychaeta: Magelonidae), which were detected for the first time in the Egyptian Mediterranean waters. In the current study, these species were described in detail and provided with comprehensive data on their distributions; in addition, the presence of M. cf. falcifera was addressed, which is newly reported for the eastern Mediterranean waters.
