Diagnosis Dorsal cirri absent on segment 3. Ventral body surface smooth. Outer elytral margin with irregular extensions (anterior elytra) or notched (posterior elytra); elytral surface smooth, except for some microtubercles near anterior margin. Parapodial stylodes smooth, slender, cirriform; notopodia with few long dorsal papillae; margins of anterior neuropodial bracts smooth. Notochaetae tapering to simple capillary tip. Type material (examined) The types of Sthenelais filamentosus were available for study: ICELAND • 5 syntypes; Northeast Atlantic, S Iceland, Medelland Bugt; 19 Jul. 1903; EtOH preserved; depth 70–90 fathoms (128–165 m); NHMD 658820. The type material of the following species is probably lost or was never deposited (type localities in brackets): Sigalion limicola (Croatia, Quarnero, Adriatic Sea), Sthenelais leiolepis (Italy, Gulf of Naples, W Mediterranean Sea) and Sthenelais haddoni (off SW Ireland, Northeast Atlantic).
