First Record of the Polychaete Worm Ceratonereis (Composetia) burmensis (Phyllodocida: Nereididae) from Pakistan.

Ceratonereis (Composetia) burmensis Monro (1937) is reported for the first time from Pakistan. A single speeimen was eolleeted from Hab river delta (24°53'13.45" N and 66°42'18.04" E) on the Baloehistan eoast in September, 2017. Two speeies of Ceratonereis previously reported from Pakistan are: Ceratonereis marmorata (Horst, 1924) and Ceratonereis sp. (Cpmposetia) burmensis differs from C. marmorata in having a prostomium that is not marmorated. It also differs from Ceratonereis sp. in having neuropodial faleigers. C.
