| Summary: | Palpiphitime lobifera (Oug, 1978) (Fig. 4) Material examined: Northern North Atlantic, coastal Skagerrak, 58° 53.1’ N; 11° 06.4’ E. Specimens recovered from minke whale bones in experimental aquarium tanks. Remarks: The most abundant dorvilleid on the whale bones is Palpiphitime lobifera. We here include a live photo of the species (Fig. 4) to show the presence of eyes, which were not reported in the original description (Oug 1978). The eyes are easily visible on live animals, but may be difficult to see in preserved specimens. ... : Published as part of Wiklund, Helena, Glover, Adrian G. & Dahlgren, Thomas G., 2009, Three new species of Ophryotrocha (Annelida: Dorvilleidae) from a whale-fall in the North-East Atlantic, pp. 43-56 in Zootaxa 2228 on page 51, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.190259 ... |
