Polyophthalmus zhadanae sp. nov. (Annelida, Opheliidae), is described from the coast of Kuwait and Saudi Arabia (Arabian Gulf) after specimens collected in the intertidal and shallow subtidal. This new species is characterised by the body pigmentation pattern, distribution of lateral eyes, presence of small dorsal and ventral parapodial cirri and pygidial features. External and internal anatomy was described after examination with SEM and micro-CT. The presence of several body structures in the genus such as a cephalic palpode-like papilla is discussed. Furthermore, the diversity of genus Polyophthalmus and the presence of Polyophthalmus pictus (Dujardin, 1839) in the Indo-Pacific is reviewed and a key to species is provided.
扎达纳多毛环虫（多毛目，欧菲莉亚科），描述自科威特和沙特阿拉伯（阿拉伯湾）海岸，标本采集于潮间带和浅海亚潮带。这个新种的特征是身体的色素模式、侧眼的分布、小的背侧和腹侧副足纤毛以及尾节的特征。外部和内部解剖结构在经过 SEM 和微 CT 检查后进行了描述。讨论了该属中存在的几种身体结构，例如头触须状乳突。此外，还回顾了多毛环虫属的多样性以及印度-太平洋地区多毛环虫 pictus（Dujardin，1839）的存在，并提供了物种的关键特征。
