This paper deals with the occurrence of Paraonis fulgens on the coast of Turkey. Three specimens of this species were found at 4 m on sandy mud bottom in İskenderun Bay, north-east Levantine Sea. The morphological and distributional features of the species were explained. The present study described a ventral lobe on chaetigers in the family Paraonidae for the first time.
