The present paper deals with the diversity of nephtyid polychaetes (Nephtyidae) from the Sea of Marmara and the Black Sea. Three species belonging to two genera (Micronephthys and Nephtys) were found in the Black Sea (coast of Turkey) and six species belonging to three genera (Inermonephtys, Micronephthys and Nephtys) were found in the Sea of Marmara. The material includes two species new to science, Inermonephtys turcica n. sp. and Nephtys sinopensis n. sp., and a species record (Nephtys kersivalensis McIntosh, 1908) new to the Sea of Marmaras marine fauna. Nephtys sinopensis n. sp. is mainly characterized by having 14 geniculate chaetae in the postacicular position of the parapodia; digitiform antennae, palps, and ventral cirri at chaetiger 1 with swollen tips; small and cirriform branchiae present from chaetiger 4 to the end of the body; poorly developed parapodial prechaetal lamellae in median and posterior chaetigers and long ventral cirri along the body. Inermonephtys turcica n. sp. is mainly characterized by having cushion-like palps with digitiform tips; well developed neuropodial postchaetal lamellae; barred chaetae in preacicular position of the anterior and median parapodia; and branchiae first appearing between chaetiger 3 and 13 (depending on body size).
本文探讨了马尔马拉海和黑海的沙蚕科多毛类（沙蚕科）的多样性。在黑海（土耳其海岸）发现了 3 种属于 2 属（Micronephthys 和 Nephtys）的物种，在马尔马拉海发现了 6 种属于 3 属（Inermonephtys、Micronephthys 和 Nephtys）的物种。这些材料包括 2 种新的科学物种，Inermonephtys turcica n. sp. 和 Nephtys sinopensis n. sp.，以及一种新记录物种（Nephtys kersivalensis McIntosh, 1908）在马尔马拉海海洋动物群中。Nephtys sinopensis n. sp. 的主要特征是后附肢的具关节刺毛 14 根；触角、触须和第 1 对胸须的指状末端肿胀；从第 4 对刚毛到身体末端都有小的、栉状的鳃；中后附肢的附肢前刚毛叶和长的腹须在身体上发育不良。Inermonephtys turcica n. sp. 的主要特征是具指状末端的垫状触须；发达的神经刚毛后刚毛叶；前和中附肢具条纹刺毛；鳃最初出现在第 3 对和第 13 对刚毛之间（取决于身体大小）。
