Amaeana dampierensis sp. nov. Figures 24 D–E, 25 Material examined: Holotype: AM W. 47405, coll. King Point, East Lewis Island, Western Australia, Australia, 03.Mar.2001, 13 m. Paratypes: AM W. 27469, same locality as holotype, 3 specimens in poor condition, one (AM W. 47405) dissected for the preparation of slides; slides: notochaetae, segment 7; neurochaetae, segment 29. AM W. 21872 (coll. 31–33 km NW Kurumba, Gulf of Carpentaria, Australia, 17 ° 17 ' 18 "S, 140 ° 36 ' 30 "E, Apr. 1994): 3 specimens in poor condition, incomplete and damaged. AM W. 21871 (coll. 31–33 km NW Kurumba, Gulf of Carpentaria, Australia, 17 ° 17 ' 15 "S, 140 ° 36 ' 36 "E, Apr. 1994): 1 specimen in poor condition, incomplete and damaged. Type locality. King Point, East Lewis Island, Western Australia, Australia, 20 ° 38 ' 17.4 "S, 116 ° 38 ' 23.4 "E, 13 m. Description: Holotype incomplete, 7 mm long, 2 mm wide at segment 8, maximum width of body. Prostomium at base of upper lip, both basal and distal parts developed, basal part as thickened crest, distal part with large, flaring lobes, prostomial process not clearly delineated; prostomium covering segment 1 laterally and terminating laterally to lower lip, near mouth (Fig. 25 A–F). Few buccal tentacles remaining, of two types, both relatively short, short ones thin, uniformly cylindrical, intermediate tentacles distally spatulate, long tentacles apparently absent (Fig. 25 F). Peristomium restricted to lips, upper lip higher than broad, elliptical, slightly convoluted; lower lip short, rounded to rectangular (Fig. 25 A–F). Body progressively broader until segment 5, then of uniform width through segment 10, progressively tapering on segments 11–14, and again of relatively uniform width through posterior body, narrower than anterior segments (Fig. 25 A–F); achaetous gap between termination of notopodia and beginning of neuropodia, corresponding to segments 14 through 26–27, twice as long as region with notopodia, with poorly marked segmentation and fragile, with thin body wall dorsally. ...
