The new species is mainly characterized by having a rounded and short caruncle occupying only chaetiger 1, and dendritically branched branchiae from chaetiger 3 to the end of body. Morphological features of E. turcica are closely similar to those of E. parvecarunculata but the former species lacks the serrated capillary chaeta with a long spur on the notopodia of the median parapodia. The present study also shows that A. djiboutiensis and E. parvecarunculata, which were previously considered synonymous, are distinct species.en10.1080/00222930802140194info:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessEurythoe turcicaEurythoe parvecarunculataAmphinome djiboutiensisAmphinomidaePolychaetaLevantine SeaTurkeyArticle4229-3019751990WOS:000258588900004Q3
