Diagnosis. Ceratonereis species having brown band dorsally on chaetiger 2 followed by thinner brown transverse stripes on next 10 (max.) chaetigers ( Fig. 1 View FIGURE 1. A F); Area III of proboscis with fewer paragnaths (8) than Area IV; dorsal notopodial ligule significantly thinner and slightly shorter than ventral notopodial ligule in anterior chaetigers.

Remarks. An informal taxon name is introduced for this species. Full description of the species, including a decision on whether it is new or not, will depend on the results of a molecular study.

Habitat. Lagoon, fore-reef and reef slope, 4– 20 m.
