Ribeiro, Rannyele Passos; Almeida, Zafira da Silva de

In this paper, a literature review was conducted to characterize the knowledge produced about the group Annelida Polychaeta in the state of Maranhão, indicating gaps and possibilities for study, besides rescuing its diversity, listing the recorded species and the environments in which they occur. This study was conducted by search databases, academic libraries and private collections of researchers who have produced work about the group. The scientific production related to polychaetes is dominated by informally published material (92.3%) and majority of the studies analyzed (75.6%) was not specifically about the group Polychaeta, but on benthic macrofauna, with predominance of work in mangroves environments (59.6%). A total of 99 genera, 32 families and 38 taxa was identified to the species level recorded for Maranhão. The knowledge of the polychaetous fauna is still incipient, requiring greater investment and intensification of studies. Thus, this literature review contributes towards synthesizing the knowledge produced about the polychaetes, seeking to find the gaps and provide basis for future studies to be conducted in Maranhão.
