Abstract

RESUMEN: En colectas realizadas sobre substratos artificiales sumergidos en la costa nororiental de Venezuela se colectaron numerosos terebélidos, identificándose trece taxones (Polycirrus cf. denticulatus, P. cf. haematodes, P. eximius dubius, Loimia ingens, L. medusa, L. cf. medusa, Eupolymnia nebulosa, Paraeupolymnia sp., Streblosoma hartmanae, Terebella rubra, T. pterochaeta, Terebella sp. y Nicolea sp.) de los cuales nueve constituyen primeros registros para Venezuela y una primera para el Océano Atlántico.
