Diagnosis. The species can be recognized by the characters of the anal tube which are the lack of a ventral cirrus and the presence of numerous short cirri on the posterior margin. Redescription. Holotype incomplete, body long and thin, 15 mm long and 1 mm wide for 42 chaetigers. A moderately large species of 9–33 mm length and 0.5–2 mm width; number of chaetigers 37–43. With ventral groove along whole length of body. Posterior body region laterally flattened. Color in alcohol white to a light tan. Prostomium conical with a short palpode. Peristomium a thin ring around the lips. Nuchal organs apparent as narrow lateral grooves, eyes absent (Fig. 3 C–D). First following segment without chaetae. Anterior 8–10 parapodia button shaped with long, stiff chaetae in bushy fascicles. Following parapodia embedded in lateral groove. Posterior parapodia more distinct with long, straight chaetae. All chaetae simple. Branchiae can be present in chaetigers 22–32, all branchiae of similar ... |
