Description
Length: 8-10 mm
17 thoracic setigerous segments. 13-14 abdominal uncinigerous segments. Prostomium quadrate, broader than long. Numerous eye spots. Paleae absent. Four pairs of much crowded, slightly flattened, slender and elongated gills. First foot with a very small tuft of setae. In the abdomen ramus reduced to a small achaetous papilla, projecting from the dorsal angles of the body. Uncinigerous pinnules are compressed lappets, constricted at the base, apparently lacking cirri. Uncini roughly triangular, bearing 4-5 long, slender, acute, overlapping teeth.
