Description
Summary:Aggregates tubicolous polychaete Phyllochaetopterus socialis Claparede, 1870 were recorded for the first time in the Port of Mar del Plata (38 degree 02 'S, 57 degree 31 '30 "W), Buenos Aires, Argentina, December 2003 by SCUBA diving to 6 m deep. The aggregates were observed on hard substratum in the lower limit of the subtidal. The present work extends the range of distribution of the species to South America, which have only confirmed records for southern Brazil and Rio de la Plata (Argentina).Original Abstract: Agregados del poliqueto tubicola Phyllochaetopterus socialis Claparede, 1870 fueron registrados por primera vez en el Puerto de Mar del Plata (3802'S; 5731'30"W), Buenos Aires, Argentina, en diciembre de 2003 mediante buceo autonomo a 6 m de profundidad. Los agregados fueron observados sobre sustrato duro, en el limite inferior del submareal. El presente trabajo amplia el rango de distribucion de dicha especie para Sudamerica, de la cual se tienen registros confirmados unicamente para el sur de Brasil y el Rio de la Plata (Argentina).
