Abstract

Abstract: Maldane sarsi Malmgren, 1865 is affiliated to Maldanidae Malmgren, 1867. It is a common polychaetous species in the benthic ecological research and widely distributed in the world ocean. Specimens of M. sarsi deposited in the Marine Biological Museum of the Chinese Academy of Sciences in the Institute of Oceanology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Qingdao, China (MBM, IOCAS) were examined. Important taxonomic features were analyzed based on the specimens and literatures. Maldane sarsi Malmgren, 1865 was redescribed based on the specimens collected from Chinese coastal and Chukchi sea areas. It can be identified through the following characteristics: head plate and anal plate present; cephalic keel high; cephalic rim laterally notched, posterior part of the rim extends anteriorly to form a pocket structure; pigments on the anterior body present or not; rim of anal plate laterally notched, dorsal rim smooth, ventral rim smooth or crenulated.

Key words: Maldane sarsi Malmgren, 1865, Maldanidae, Polychaeta, China Sea
