Abstract in Portuguese
O Brasil possui quatro conjuntos de ilhas oceânicas, incluindo o arquipélago de Trindade e Martin Vaz (ATMV), que se destaca pelo alto grau de isolamento, estando localizado a 1200 km da costa brasileira. Apesar do interesse científico que o arquipélago desperta, muitos aspectos da fauna marinha de ATMV permanecem desconhecidos, incluindo a diversidade de anelídeos. O presente estudo dedicouse a descrever a diversidade e afinidades geográficas de quatro famílias de anelídeos no ATMV: Amphinomidae, Eunicidae, Sabellidae e Serpulidae. Para isto, foram analisados 917 espécimes coletados em 18 locais do arquipélago de ATMV, desde poças de maré até profundidades de 30 metros. Os espécimes foram observados sob estereomicroscópio, sendo que alguns indivíduos foram selecionados para montagem de lâminas para observação das cerdas sob microscópio ótico composto e observação sob microscopia eletrônica de varredura. No total, foram encontradas 13 espécies, sendo 4 espécies representantes de Amphinomidae, 6 de Eunicidae, 1 de Sabellidae e 2 de Serpulidae. Destas espécies, 6 são apresentadas como novas para a ciência: Eunicidae Eunice sp. nov. 1, Leodice sp. nov. 1, Marphysa sp. nov. 1, Nicidion sp. nov. 1 e Palola sp. nov. 1; Sabellidae Notaulax sp. nov. 1. As demais espécies encontradas representam novos registros para o arquipélago, Amphinomidae Eurythoe complanata (Pallas, 1766), Hermodice carunculata (Pallas, 1766), Linopherus canariensis Langerhans, 1881 e Notopygos crinita Grube, 1855; Eunicidae Lysidice ninetta Audouin & Milne Edwards, 1833; Serpulidae Pomatostegus stellatus, (Abildgaard, 1789) e Spirobranchus giganteus, (Pallas, 1766). Desse modo, nossos resultados apontam para fauna de anelídeos marinhos no ATMV sendo composta majoritariamente por espécies endêmicas (46,1%), seguida por espécies anfi-atlânticas ou cosmopolitas (38,5%) e espécies do Atlântico Oeste (15,4%). Ao descrever estas espécies, o presente trabalho contribui para a compreensão acerca da fauna de poliquetas e, de modo geral, para o conhecimento da biodiversidade em ATMV.

Abstract in English
Brazil has four sets of oceanic islands, including the Trindade and Martin Vaz Archipelago (TMVA), which stands out for its high degree of isolation, being located 1200 km from the Brazilian coast. Despite the scientific relevance of the archipelago, many aspects of its marine fauna remain unknown, including the diversity of annelids. The present study aimed to describe the diversity and geographical affinities of four families of annelids in TMVA: Amphinomidae, Eunicidae, Sabellidae, and Serpulidae. Specimens were collected at 18 locations in the TMVA archipelago, from tidal pools to depths of 30 meters. In total, 917 specimens were analyzed, first by being observed under a stereomicroscope. Further, selected specimens were prepared for scanning electron microscopy and observation of the chaetae under compound optical microscope. As a result, 13 species were found, with 4 species representing Amphinomidae, 6 representing Eunicidae, 1 representing Sabellidae, and 2 representing Serpulidae. Of these species, 6 are herein presented as new to science: Eunicidae Eunice sp. nov. 1, Leodice sp. nov. 1, Marphysa sp. nov. 1, Nicidion sp. nov. 1, and Palola sp. nov. 1; Sabellidae Notaulax sp. nov. 1. The remaining species represent new records for the archipelago, including: Amphinomidae Eurythoe complanata (Pallas, 1766), Hermodice carunculata (Pallas, 1766), Linopherus canariensis Langerhans, 1881, and Notopygos crinita Grube, 1855; Eunicidae Lysidice ninetta Audouin & Milne Edwards, 1833; Serpulidae Pomatostegus stellatus (Abildgaard, 1789) and Spirobranchus giganteus (Pallas, 1766). Thus, our results indicate that the marine annelid fauna in TMVA is mainly composed of endemic species (46.1%), followed by amphi-Atlantic or cosmopolitan species (38.5%), and West Atlantic species (15.4%). By describing these species, the present study contributes to the understanding of the polychaete fauna and to the knowledge of the biodiversity of TMVA.
