Revision of the Sigalionid Species (Polychaeta) Referred to Psammolyce Kinberg,1856, Pelogenia Schmarda, 1861, and Belonging to the Subfamily Pelogeniinae Chamberlin, 1919. Smithsonian Contributions to Zoology, number 581, 89 pages, 60 figures, 1997. Sigalionid species of polychaetes included in Pelogeniinae Chamberlin, 1919, are reviewed and revised, based on reexamination of type material and published records, as well as examination of new material. The species are characterized by the dorsum and elytra being more or less covered with sand and foreign material tightly held by adhesive papollae. In this revision, the subfamily is represented by eight genera, separated into two groups, based on the presence or absence of dorsal cirri on segment III. The Pelogenia group (with dorsal cirri), includes Pelogenia Schmarda, 1861 (with synonym Eupholoe McIntosh, 1885), Claparedepelogenia (new name for Lepidopleurus Claparede, 1868, preoccupied), and genera Pottsipelogenia and Heteropelogenia.
