Dec 1979, R.L. Cimberg, Van Veen grab, 6 specimens (LACM-AHF Poly 6551). Description. A moderate-sized species, holotype and larger paratypes 12–13 mm long, 0.6–0.7 mm wide across anterior setigers and ca. 0.8 mm wide in middle setigers, with about 80–85 setigers. Body typically breaks mid-body, hence many specimens incomplete. Color in alcohol light tan to brown, lacking any distinctive body pigment. Body with narrow crowded segments for two-thirds of body; posterior cinctured setigers not as crowded; body without any prominent swelling or anterior enlargement; with narrow, weakly developed mid-dorsal groove from about setiger 6‒8, continuing posteriorly for about first third of body, not apparent posteriorly; venter flattened, with narrow ventral groove from just posterior to mouth continuing over anterior, middle, and most posterior setigers, absent from far posterior cinctured segments. Prostomium swollen, enlarged, tapering to triangular and pointed anterior end (Fig. 15 A–B); eyes absent; nuchal organ a narrow slit bordered by thickened pigmented cells, superficially appearing to be an eye (Fig. 15 B). Peristomium elongate with ...
