Scaleworms (Polychaeta: Polynoidae) from the Mexican Pacific and some other Eastern Pacific sites

Polynoids are a diverse group of polychaetes which, although not abundant, are almost always found in faunistic studies. In the Mexican Pacific, 83 species have been recorded; most have not been recently reviewed. The main problem with the recorded species is misidentification due to unclear taxonom...
