During a recent survey to Chandipur coast (Balasore District), Odisha one of us (MR) collected a specimen of polychaete worm from the lower tidal area of the Chandipur sea beach. This specimen is 65 mm long and 7 mm wide with reddish-brown ooze adhering to the skin surface. Body is cylindrical or club-shaped anteriorly, while posterior part tapering, looking like a filiform coiled tail. Body is covered by small globular papillae. Buccal tube is very long, protrusible, cylindrical and frilled at the edge. Mouth opening is trilobed, two ventral lobes are larger than the dorsal.

A total of 74 species of Polychaetes belonging to 51 genera and 28 families have been reported so far from West Bengal wetlands. Out of these, only two species, viz., Aelosoma bengalensis and Lumbrineris pseudobifilaris are reported from freshwater habitats and the remaining are from brackishwater, estuarine and caostal habitats of the state. A list of all these species along with their habitat, district-wise distribution in the states and local status is presented in the present communication.Keywords
