(Fig. 3 a-b) Records: WCD 73 (3). Description: All three specimens are broken and only one is sufficiently long to identify the posterior neurosetae. It has been chosen as the holotype. It is 8 mm. long with 65 segments and probably represents about half of the original worm. The prostomium (fig. 3a) is short and broad with well-marked nuchal slits, a very short median antenna, but no eyes. The anterior region is flattened dors

(Fig. 3 a-b) Records: WCD 73 (3). Description: All three specimens are broken and only one is sufficiently long to identify the posterior neurosetae. It has been chosen as the holotype. It is 8 mm. long with 65 segments and probably represents about half of the original worm. The prostomium (fig. 3a) is short and broad with well-marked nuchal slits, a very short median antenna, but no eyes. The anterior region is flattened dorsally and the posterior region rounded. Branchiae start on setiger 4 and continue to setiger 15 so that there are 12 pairs in all. Each gill is stout with a pointed tip and just meets its fellow in the mid-dorsal line. All gills are subequal except for the last 2-3 which are small. The postsetal notopodial lobe of setiger 1 is a small papilla but later ones soon increase in size and in the branchial region they are 2/3 the length of the gills. The neuropodia are merely low.
