Аннотация:The morphology of buccal parts was studied in twenty representative species of Terebellida belonging to the
families Terebellidae, Ampharetidae, Trichobranchidae and Pectinariidae. The ultrastructure of the ventral pharyngeal organ
was studied in Ampharete lindstroemii and juveniles of Nicolea zostericola and Pectinaria hyperborea. The ventral
pharyngeal organ consists of investing muscle fibres and a bulbous muscle including muscle and interstitial cells. A
glandular ridge is found in the posterior part of the bulbous muscle. No such structures were observed in Pectinaria
hyperborea. The upper lip in representatives of Terebellidae, Trichobranchidae, Ampharetidae, and Alvinellidae is similar in
structure. It consists of an area of tentacle attachment and a free edge. In contrast, the upper lip in Pectinariidae has no free
edge. A hypothesis on the evolution of the buccal apparatus in the Terebellida is proposed. A distinct prostomium and
tentacles located on the upper lip outside the mouth (as in Ampharetidae with everted tentacles) are considered to be a
plesiomorphic pattern. The ciliated surface of the dorsal part of the buccal cavity in the Terebellida is considered to be
homologous to the dorso-lateral folds found in most polychaete taxa.
