Foundation. Description'. The holotype is a complete, sexually mature female with 24 segments that is H nun long and 2 mm wide without setae. It is white with reddish pigment spots ovci the antcrioi end in alcohol preservation. The pygidium is a small, rounded cushion with- out anal cirri; the anus is dorsal. The prostomium (Fig, I ) is pentagonal and has two pairs of long, slender antennae near the antcnor margin. A pair ol small, distinct frontal lobes arc present on the anterovcntral margin. Two pan- ol eyes are present at the middle and mid-posterior part of the prostomium: the anterior pair is lensed; the posterior pair is semi-lunular in shape. The peristomial segment is a complete ring, forming While collecting at a floating boat dock in Bodega Harbor, California, one of us (Belman) found a thick gelatinous sac attach
