Diagnosis. Antenna long, reaching third chaetiger. Secondary ciliary organs present. Three prebranchial segments. Dorsal podial lobes of chaetiger 1 cirriform, similar in length to those of remaining prebranchial chaetigers. Branchiae numbering 15–30 pairs; stout and tapering uniformly to a blunt tip. Modified notochaetae absent. Modified neurochaetae abruptly tapering, with slender terminal spine. Distribution. Eastern Atlantic, from East Greenland (Wesenberg-Lund 1953) and Northern Norway (Oug 2000) to Iberian Peninsula (Aguirrezabalaga 2012), western Atlantic, from Western Greenland (Blake & Dean 1973) and New England (Pettibone 1963) to Caribbean Sea (Díaz-Díaz et al. 2009). Arctic Ocean: Canadian Arctic (Conlan et al. 2008), Jan Mayen (Bakken et al. 2010). California (Hartman 1969). Remarks.
