Abstract Amphiglenaterebro sp. nov. (Polychaeta: Sabellidae) is described from eastern Australia. This species can be distinguished from the other three species of Amphiglena Claparede on the basis of the shape of thoracic uncini and notochaetae, the number of thoracic and abdominal chaetigers and overall size. Amphiglena terebro is a simultaneous hermaphrodite with oocytes in the anterior abdominal chaeugers and sperm and spermatids in the following abdominal chaetigers, Sperm have an elongate nucleus and long midpiece, The acrosome and nucleus spiral around each other at the tip of the sperm. Spermiogenesis occurs in large, synchronously developing masses connected to a cytophore, Throughout the year direct-developing larvae are brooded in the tube with the adult. Severallarvae at different stages of development could be found in a tube at anyone time. Early larvae are elongate ellipses (500 p.m long) with a prominent prototroch and neurotroch. Larvae develop all 8 thoracic chaetigers with notochaetae a...
