Figure 1. Glycera dibranchiata, proboscis retracted. The anatomy of G. dibranchiata was first described by Ehlers (1868), and later by Klawe & Dickie (1957). According to the latter report, G. dibranchiata can reach lengths of up to 37 cm, though is more commonly about 15 cm in length, with approximately 300 segments in a 20 cm specimen. They are circular in cross-section and both anterior and posterior ends taper to a point. The anterior end, called the prostomium, is distinguishable from the posterior end by presence of a small brain, visible as a small.
