Two new species of Marphysa Quatrefages, 1865 (Polychaeta: Eunicida: Eunicidae), M. bulla n. sp. and M. maxidenticulata n. sp., are described from the northern coast of China with comments on the usefulness of pectinate chaetae to separate species. A redescription of Marphysa orientalis Treadwell, 1936 originally described from China is given. The genus Marphysa is widely collected for bait for recreational fishermen and anglers in China and is also exported to Australia and Japan, yet the number of species involved or their native distribution are currently unknown. It is critical that aquaculture programs know which species they are attempting to breed and their native distributional ranges. A key to all described species of Marphysa from China, including two new species described in this paper is given.
描述了1865年命名的多鳞虫属（Marphysa Quatrefages）的两个新物种，即泡状多鳞虫（M. bulla n. sp.）和大齿多鳞虫（M. maxidenticulata n. sp.），它们发现于中国北部海岸，并对栉状刚毛在物种区分中的作用进行了评论。对1936年最初在中国描述的东方多鳞虫（Marphysa orientalis Treadwell）进行了重新描述。在中国，多鳞虫属被广泛采集作为休闲渔民和垂钓者的鱼饵，也出口到澳大利亚和日本，但目前尚不清楚涉及的物种数量及其原生分布范围。水产养殖项目了解他们试图培育的物种及其原生分布范围至关重要。给出了中国已描述的所有多鳞虫物种的检索表，包括本文描述的两个新物种。
