BATHYMIRANDA LEVENSTEIN, 1981 Type species: Bathymiranda microcephala Levenstein, 1981. The genus is monotypic. Although Levenstein (1981) considered the presence of a median antenna uncertain, Pettibone (1985d, 1989c) classified it in the subfamily Polaruschakovinae. We followed Pettibone and coded the species as lacking a median antenna. : Published as part of Bonifácio, Paulo & Menot, Lénaïck, 2019, New genera and species from the Equatorial Pacific provide phylogenetic insights into deep-sea Polynoidae (Annelida), pp. 555-635 in Zoological Journal of the Linnean Society 185 on page 625 : {"references": ["Levenstein RYA. 1981.
