Description. —Length of holotype 18 mm, width maximally 1 mm, with ^05 segments; largest paratype (9) 35 mm long with 400 segments; colorless in alcohol. Prostomium (Fig. la) irregularly rounded, ventrally flattened; eyes absent. Peri- stomial segment 1 short, fused dorsally with prostomium; second peristomial segment a complete ring, three times longer than the first. Maxillae I (Fig. lb) smooth, thick and distally falcate. Maxillary carriers sigmoidally curved (Fig. lb). Fused mandibles small, longer than wide (Fig. Ic). Parapodia (Fig. Id) each with 2 acicula. Setae with slightly curved shafts and a subdistally inflated, minutely spinous boss terminating in a digitiform tip (Fig. le); number 4-5 per parapodium. Body tapering posteriorly, terminating in a small club shaped pygidium (Fig. 10- Remarks.—This record is the first report of an iphitimid as a polychaete en- doparasite. It is also the first record of an aphroditid parasitized by another polychaete. The Iphitimidae, as originally defined, were exclusively associated.
