Abstract

Aims: This paper gives an account of the syllid species from different stations Rasheed, Domiatte, El Borrulus, Bardweel, El Aresh, also provides some information on the morphology, distribution and habitat of those species. Study Design: Descriptive study and distribution. Place and Duration of Study: Syllidae species were collected from the Eastern Mediterranean coast of Egypt by A cruise (El –Yarmook) in May- June 2013. Methodology: Soft-sediment samples were collected by Van Veen grab in different depths (10, 20, 50,100, 200m) and different habitats. Results: A total of 47syllid species from 221 taxa species were identified within the strategy of National Institute of Oceanography and Fishery Alexandria. In this study 17 new recorded syllid species to the Mediterranean Egyptian waters were reported, 5 of them also considered new alien species for Mediterranean. They are: Pionosyllis mariae San Martín & Hutchings, 2006, Syllis ortizi San Martin, 1992, Exogone (Parexogone) tasmanica Hartmann- Schröder, 1989; Sphaerosyllis capensis Day 1953; Exogone (Exogone) lourei Berkeley & Berkeley, 1938; and one new to Eastern Mediterranean. It is: Prosphaerosyllis adelae San Martín, 1984. Conclusion: New recorded Syllidae species were reported for the first time for Egyptian Mediterranean waters, also 5 of them considered new alien species for Mediterranean.
