Features: Polychaete worms are abundant in species and quantity, making them important marine economic animals. This book focuses on the Polychaeta class of the Phyllodocida order in Chinese marine annelids, covering 2 suborders, 15 families, 67 genera, and 153 species. The content is divided into two parts: General Introduction and Detailed Accounts. The General Introduction summarizes the history of research, morphological descriptions, taxonomic systems, geographical distribution, and biological characteristics. The Detailed Accounts classify and describe species according to the taxonomic system first proposed by the authors. This includes morphological features, geographical distribution, taxonomic discussions, and a taxonomic key to families, genera, and species of the Phyllodocida order. At the end of the book, there are references, an English abstract, and an index of Chinese and Latin names, making it convenient to use. This book provides systematic scientific materials for researchers and educators in disciplines such as zoology.
