The methane seeps on the Pacific margin of Costa Rica support extensive animal diversity and offer insights into deep-sea biogeography. During five expeditions between 2009 and 2019, we conducted intensive faunal sampling via 63 submersible dives to 11 localities at depths of 300-3600 m. Based on these expeditions and published literature, we compiled voucher specimens, images, and 274 newly published DNA sequences to present a taxonomic inventory of macrofaunal and megafaunal diversity with a focus on invertebrates.

Polynoidae Kinberg, 1856 has five branchiate genera: Pettibone, 1984, Pettibone, 1985, Pettibone, 1985, Desbruyères & Laubier, 1988, and Miura, 1994, all native to deep-sea, chemosynthetic-based habitats. Of these, has two accepted species; Desbruyères & Laubier, 1988 (Atlantic Ocean) and Pettibone, 1993 (East Pacific Ocean). The goal of this study was to assess the phylogenetic position of , utilizing DNA sequences from a broad sampling of deep-sea polynoids.
