Description
Summary:Genus Leitoscoloplos Day, 1977 Type-species: Haploscoloplos bifurcatus Hartman, 1957, designated by Day 1977. Diagnosis. Prostomium pointed, conical; peristomium typically with one achaetous ring, but with additional superficial annulae on some species. Branchiae lacking, or present from posterior thoracic, transitional, or abdominal setiger. Posterior thoracic setigers with 0–2 postsetal lobes and 0–2 subpodial lobes; abdominal setigers with 0–4 subpodial papillae; stomach papillae rare, interramal cirri present or absent. Thoracic neurosetae including only capillaries. Without abdominal neuropodial spines, with 2–3 imbedded aciculae present or absent. Remarks. Day (1977) determined that the type species of Haploscoloplos Monro, 1933a (H. cylindrifer (Ehlers, 1904)) possessed an anterior row of short hooks in the thoracic neuropodia in addition to capillaries and thus belonged to the genus Scoloplos. He examined a specimen from near Christchurch, NZ; South Island, New Zealand, near the type locality of the ... : Published as part of Blake, James A., 2017, Polychaeta Orbiniidae from Antarctica, the Southern Ocean, the Abyssal Pacific Ocean, and off South America, pp. 1-145 in Zootaxa 4218 (1) on pages 17-18, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.245827 ...
