Alcyonosyllis bisetosa (Hartmann-Schröder, 1960) new comb.

Haplosyllis bisetosa Hartmann-Schröder, 1960: 85 –86, fig. 51–53.— Amoureux et al. 1978.— Licher, 1999: 280.

Examined material. Djubal ("Gubal", saudi Arabia), Red Sea. Holotype ZMH P–14745; 1 Paratype ZMH P–14746. November 1957.

Remarks. Hartman-Schröder (1960) described the species as having cirri and antennae with few articles or totally smooth. This was later confirmed based on specimens collected at Sinai (Amoureux et al. 1978). Our observations confirm that the chaetae have a long and straight MJP, and minute MF, resembling those of Alcyonosyllis phili Glasby and Watson, 2001 . The species is here considered as belonging to Alcyonosyllis, however, the type material is in poor condition, especially the cirri.
