Extract

Namanereids are an interesting group because of their success, remarkable amongst polychaetes, in colonizing freshwater habitats, particularly damp-terrestrial situations in tropical rainforests (see reviews by Feuerborn, 1932; Corrêa, 1948; Wesenberg-Lund, 1958; Hartman, 1959). Species assigned to the subfamily Namanereidinae Hartman, 1959 are now known from world-wide localities but there are few records from European waters.
