. Bulletin of the Natural History Museum Zoology. Fig. 37. Nuculana vestita. Lateral views of right side of four shells in outline to show differences in shape with increasing size. Specimens from Atlantis II station 203 from the Angola Basin. Scale = 1mm. of the mantle edge. The anterior mantle sense organ is well- developed. The foot is large with the margins of the sole finely papillate. The palps are very small with up to 12 broad folds. The palp proboscides are stout and elongate, even in the contracted state. The gills are elongate and broad with up to 36 gill plates. Propeleda carpenter
