A comprehensive taxonornic study of the polychaete fauna of the estuarine and marine environs of the state of West Bengal, India. has been made on the basis of more than 2000 specimens. Seventy-two species of polychaetes including 5 undetermined species, spread over 50 genera and· 27 families, have been presented here. One family, Talehsapiidae. two genera. viz., Sigatargis, and Ganganereis and seven species, viz.. Gattyana fauveli, Sigatargis commensalis. Dendronereides gangetica. Dendronereis dayi, Ganganereis sootai, Lumbrineris bilabiata, Scoloplos (Scoloplos) sagarensis. are described as new to science. Four species. viz., Dendronereis arborifera [non Peters], Neanthes cricognatha [non Ehlers], Diopatra neapolitana (part) [non delle Chiaje] and Glycera alba Rathke, recorded earlier from India are synonymized with Dendronereis dayi n.sp., Neanthes meggitti (Monro) Diopatra cuprea (Bosc) and Glycera convoluta Keferstein respectively. Two species, namely Namalycastis fauveli Rao and Lycastonereis indica Rao have been redescribed. Two species, Namalycastis meraukensis (Horst) and Polydora normalis Day are added to the Polychaete fauna of India. The present study also registers the new locality records of nine genera. viz., Gattyana, Sigambra. Lycastonereis. Glycinde. Leitoscoloplos, Scoloplos, Polydora, Parheteromastis and Owenia, and eight species, viz., S. constricta, N. fauveli, N. meraukellensis, L. indica, G. oligodon, P. normalis.
