Figure 43 in A review of Asian Hediste species complex (Nereididae, Polychaeta) with descriptions of two new species and a redescription of Hediste japonica (Izuka, 1908)

Figure 43. Hypothesis of the phylogenetic relationships in three Asian Hediste species. Stars indicate reproductive characteristics; () reproductive swarming of epitokous adults with (A) or without (B) addition of epitoke-specific sesquigomph spinigers; () reproduction without swarming and any epitokous metamorphosis. Circular symbols indicate developmental characteristics; () pelagic development probably lecithotrophic from middle-sized eggs (180– 210 Mm in diameter) (A), or probably planktotrophic from small eggs (130–170 Mm) (B); () direct development from large eggs (200–250 Mm). (&) indicate the contrasting character combinations in immature specimens.1. Neuropodial homogomph falcigers present (A) or absent (B). 2. Neuropodial heterogomph spinigers present (A) or absent (B). 3. Neuropodial postsetal ligule tapering to digitate lobe throughout (A) or only in anterior setigers (B).
