Summary: | Epigamia gen. n. Linnean name definition . Type species Autolytus noroi Imajima & Hartman, 1964. Nodebased name definition . Epigamia refers to the least inclusive clade comprising E. noroi (Imajima & Hartman, 1964), and E. macrophtalma (Marenzeller, 1875). Apomorphies . Morphologically supported by one apomorphy (Fig. 4): 1) body ciliation as 2 trochs per segment (character 4), other most parsimonious reconstructions (MPRs) possible, character state change is a parallelism, later reversed within clade, character state unknown in E. labordai (San Martín & López, 2002). General description . Atokous form . Length 1.8–22 mm for 20–88 chaetigers; width, measured at level of proventricle and excluding parapodial lobes, 0.2–1.5 mm. Body shape, excluding parapodial lobes, cylindrical to rounded rectangular in transection, venter flattened; body width fairly constant with tapering end. Ciliation as 1 or 2 trochs per segment (unknown in some taxa). Prostomium usually rounded rectangular, in E. macrophtalma more rounded oval. Four eyes, with lenses, in trapezoid arrangement, anterior pair larger. Eyes confluent or separated; eye spots absent or present. Palps fused at base or completely fused; in dorsal view projecting 1 / 5 – 1 / 2 of prostomial length. Extension of nuchal epaulettes from end of chaetiger 1 to end of chaetiger 6. Prostomium with 3 antennae; median antenna inserted medially on prostomium, the lateral on anterior margin. Tentacular cirri 2 pairs. Dorsal cirri alternate in length, except in E. macrophtalma cirrophores equal; cirrophores shorter or equal in length to parapodial lobes. All appendages cylindrical except in E. macrophtalma with flattened dorsal cirri from chaetiger 3. Parapodial lobes generally large, rounded to rounded rectangular; in some taxa with slightly swollen dorsal part. Except for bayonet chaetae, all chaetae compounds with bidentate blades; serration present. Compounds with small or large distal tooth. Single thin bayonet chaetae, subdistally denticulated. Pharynx with single to multiple sinuations. Trepan with various types of denticulation, in 1–3 rings. Basal ring present; infradental spines absent or present. Proventricle with varying number of rows of square shaped muscle cells. Pygidium with 2 cirri (reported length compared to body width, excluding parapodial lobes, at level of proventricle, if not otherwise stated); median papilla absent. Epitokes . Male. Body divided into 3 regions, anterior with 11 (see E. noroi ) or 14 uniramous chaetigers (region a), median with c. 37 biramous chaetigers (region b), and posterior with 3–23 uniramous chaetigers (region c). Body widest in anteromedian half of region b; body width measured in region a, as body width excluding parapodial lobes, and in region b, at the widest part, as body width including parapodial lobes. Ciliation as in atokes. Prostomium rounded rectangular, wider than long, with straight or concave anterior margin. Eyes large, 2 pairs, with lenses; eyes situated on dorsal and ventral side of prostomium, ventral pair larger. Palps present, much smaller than in atokes. Nuchal epaulettes as in atokes. Large median antenna inserted medially on prostomium, lateral antennae inserted on anterior margin. Lateral antennae bifid, basal part c. 1 / 2 of total length; outer ventral rami equal or longer than inner dorsal rami. Basal part and inner dorsal rami segmented with abundant cilia. Pair of small frontal processes inserted anterolaterally to dorsal pair of eyes. Tentacular cirri as in atokes. First dorsal cirri, larger than in atokes, equal in shape and size to median antenna. Achaetous knobs absent. Cirri with alternation in direction and size in region a, and c as in atokes; cirri in region b with less obvious alternation in both size and direction. However, this needs to be explored using a larger samplesize. Cirri length measured as body width excluding parapodial lobes in region a, and c; as body width including parapodial lobes in region b. Median antenna with large ceratophore, large cirrophores present on first dorsal cirri; cirrophores otherwise as in atokes. Appendages cylindrical, suspected to be flattened in epitokes of E. macrophtalma . Pharynx and proventricle disintegrates at some stage, and is totally absent in fully developed epitokes. Neuropodia as in atokes but generally larger and with enlarged, and prolonged dorsal part, especially in region b; in region b also with welldeveloped flattened notopodial lobes. Neuropodial aciculae as in atokes; notopodia in region b supported by c. 3 anterodorsal aciculae, and 3–4 thick and 3–5 thin posteroventral aciculae. Neuropodial chaetae as in atokes. Notopodial lobes with 20–50 swimming chaetae, in length equal to c. body width in region b including parapodial lobes. Pygidium as in atokes. Female . Body divided into 3 regions, anterior with 14 uniramous chaetigers (region a), median with 29–41 biramous chaetigers (region b), posterior with 16–33 uniramous chaetigers (region c). Body width fairly constant, slightly wider in region b; body width measured in region a, as body width excluding parapodial lobes, and in region b as body width including parapodial lobes. Ciliation as in atokes. Prostomium rounded rectangular, wider than long, with straight or concave anterior margin. Eyes large, 2 pairs, with lenses; eyes situated on dorsal and ventral side of prostomium, ventral pair larger. Palps present, much smaller than in atokes. Nuchal epaulettes as in atokes.

Cirri length measured as body width excluding parapodial lobes in region a, and c; as body width including parapodial lobes in region b. Cirrophores as in atokes. Appendages cylindrical, suspected to be flattened in epitokes of E. macrophtalma . Pharynx and proventricle disintegrates at some stage, and is totally absent in fully developed epitokes. Neuropodia as in atokes but generally larger and with enlarged, and prolonged dorsal part, especially in region b; in region b also with notopodial lobes, not as developed as in male. Neuropodial aciculae as in atokes; notopodia in region b supported by 5–14 anterodorsal aciculae, and 6–8 thick and 6–9 thin posteroventral aciculae. Neuropodial chaetae as in atokes.
