Material examined. AM W. 202470, back reef of Carter outer reef, 14 ° 40 'S, 145 ° 28 'E, 10–15 m, coll. P. Hutchings, 20 Mar 1986; AM W. 47590, G 236, east lagoon near Bird Islet, 9 m, coll. Rouse & Kupriyanova, 29 Oct 2005; SAM E 3621, Ser 56, stn.G 236, east lagoon near Bird Islet, 9 m, coll. G. Rouse & E. Kupriyanova, 29 Oct 2005; ZMA V.Pol. 3622, between First Beach & Osprey Island, reef flat, dead corals & rubble in sand, 3–4 m, coll. H. ten Hove, 17 Jun 1983. Diagnosis. Tube diameter 0.11–0.17 mm, some tubes may have one or more unpaired, inverted broodchambers (see ten Hove & Kupriyanova 2009, fig. 2 A). Operculum pear-shaped, laterally compressed, usually with chitinous plate bearing spines (Fig. 17 A). Opercular plate may be deeply infolded and sunk, angled, within the opercular ampulla, then with halves closely appressed. Remarks. This little known species, characterized by numerous irregular spines in its chitinous opercular plate, was incompletely described by Bush (1905) from a tiny worm collected on corals off Bermuda. The type material was lost. Ben-Eliahu & ten Hove (1989) designated a neotype and re-described the species in detail. Distribution.
