Three new species of Marphysa Quatrefages, 1865 (Polychaeta: Eunicida: Eunicidae) are described from the south coast of China, M. tripectinata n. sp., M. multipectinata n. sp. and M. tribranchiata n. sp. with comments on the usefulness of pectinate chaetae to separate species. Marphysa sinensis Monro, 1934 is redescribed with a lectotype designated. The genus Marphysa is widely collected for bait and export for recreational fishermen and anglers in China and yet the number of species involved and their native distribution is currently unknown. Such information is critical for aquaculture programs which are rearing these species.
本文描述了采自中国南部沿海的3个多鳞虫属（Marphysa Quatrefages，1865）新物种，即三栉多鳞虫（Marphysa tripectinata n. sp.）、多栉多鳞虫（M. multipectinata n. sp.）和三叉多鳞虫（M. tribranchiata n. sp.），并讨论了栉状刚毛在物种区分中的作用。重新描述了中华多鳞虫（Marphysa sinensis Monro，1934）并指定了选模标本。在中国，多鳞虫属物种因作为诱饵被广泛采集并出口给休闲渔民和垂钓者，但目前尚不清楚所涉及的物种数量及其原生分布。这些信息对于养殖这些物种的水产养殖项目至关重要。
