Abstract
A new species of onuphid worm, Diopatra bulohensis, from Sungei Buloh, Singapore is described. This is also the second Diopatra species to b e reported from Singapore waters. The new species is related to D. mac ulata Paxton; the main differences lie in the absence of indentations on the cutting plates of mandibles, pigmentation patterns of the dorsa l branchiferous region, and the occurrence of pectinate setae and suba cicular hooks.
