Abstract
A new species of Spionidae, Scolelepis anakenae from Easter Island, is described. Scolelepis anakenae, which closely resembles Scolelepis chilensis (Hartmann-Schroder) from the coast of Chile was the only polychaete species found in sand at Anakena beach during a macrofaunistic study. Comments about its distribution and population density in the intertidal zone are included.
