在最近的一次调查墨西哥湾东部冷水珊瑚栖息地的巡航中，发现了七种介壳虫（多毛类：Aphroditiformia），其中四种是新的科学物种：Laetmonice tunicata sp. nov.（Aphroditidae）; Eunoe purpurea Treadwell，1936，Gorgoniapolynoe caeciliae（Fauvel，1913），Harmothoe dannyi sp. nov.，Harmothoe cedrici sp. nov.和Subadyte campechensis sp. nov.（Polynoidae）;和Leanira robusta Verrill，1885（Sigalionidae）。本文对所有种作了详细的分类学描述，并附有新种的详细描述和数字。五种多形虫中有三种与珊瑚宿主有关：E. purpurea与Bathypathes cf. alternata Brook，1898（Antipatharia）; caeciliae与盾叶甲甲（A. armata Verrill，1878）和覆瓦甲（E. imbricata，约翰逊，1862）（珊瑚甲属）和盾叶甲（H. dannyi sp. nov.与Stylaster erubescens Pourtale's，1868（水螅虫属）的关系。这些协会的特点是详细的，并记录在现场的照片和显微镜图像和视频的活动物，连同其各自的主机。
During a recent cruise to investigate the cold-water coral habitats in the eastern Gulf of Mexico seven scale worm species (Polychaeta: Aphroditiformia) were found, with four of them new to science: Laetmonice tunicata sp. nov. (Aphroditidae); Eunoe purpurea Treadwell, 1936, Gorgoniapolynoe caeciliae (Fauvel, 1913), Harmothoe dannyi sp. nov., Harmothoe cedrici sp. nov. and Subadyte campechensis sp. nov. (Polynoidae); and Leanira robusta Verrill, 1885 (Sigalionidae). An extended taxonomic account is given for all species, with detailed descriptions and figures for the new species. Three of the five polynoid species were found associated with a coral host: E. purpurea with Bathypathes cf. alternata Brook, 1898 (Antipatharia); G. caeciliae with Acanthogorgia armata Verrill, 1878 and Candidella imbricata (Johnson, 1862) (Octocorallia) and H. dannyi sp. nov. with Stylaster erubescens Pourtale's, 1868 (Hydrozoa). These associations are characterized in detail and documented by in situ ROV pictures and microscopic images and videos of the live animals, together with their respective host.
