Sažetak

In the Adriatic Sea, 559 polychaetous species (Annelida, Polychaeta) have been determined so far. The list presented is a result of the author's investigations as well as a detailed analyses of more than one hundred papers, published over the last 150 years, which analyze the group of sea animals of benthic animal communities of the Adriatic Sea. The literature contains all the papers which have been analyzed.
In the Catalogue of polychaeta (POŽAR-DOMAC, 1978), 447 polychaetous species from the Adriatic Sea were recorded. Since then, intensive investigations have been carried out on the animal communities of the whole Adriatic Sea, especially certain plant and animal groups. Results of more than one hundred newly determined or newly described species are listed in papers of some eminent experts (AMOUREUX, BELLAN, BIANCHI, CASTELLI, COGNETTI, KATZMANN, LAUBIER, GAMBI etc.) who have analyzed groups of polychaeta in the Adriatic over the last 15 or so years. Considering these results, it was necessary to add the list of Polychaeta species determined for this area. The accepted specific names in the Catalogue and also in the present contribution, are those used in the Catalogue of the Polychaetous Annelids of the World (HARTMAN, 1959; 1965).
