  ABSTRACT
  A pelagic polychaete, Poeobius meseres Heath, 1930 (Anellida Flabelligeridae), is mainly known from California, Northeast Pacific, and is well studied in the region. However, little is known from Northwest Pacific, which is needed for understanding its biodiversity and accurate distribution. We report morphological and genetic data of this species collected off Tohoku, Japan and off the Aleutian Islands, USA, and confirm ITS extensive distribution (over 4000 km).
