Description (based on holotype, in parentheses variation of non-type materials)
Colour, body shape, and size. Holotype partially dehydrated, preserved body brown (bright orange-red when freshly preserved fide Johnson 1901), with iridescent, rounded small spots in anterior thoracic segments ( Figure 2A, C View Figure 2 ). Trunk cylindrical ( Figure 2C View Figure 2 ), abruptly enlarged in posterior part of abdomen ( Figure 2F View Figure 2 ). Holotype complete, branchial crown regenerating ( Figure 2A, C View Figure 2 ). Body length 74 (51–85) mm, width 4 (3–8) mm.
Branchial lobes and branchial crown. Insertion of the branchial lobes not exposed beyond collar. Branchial crown length 4 mm (12–17). Radioles: 17 pairs (25–27). Radioles with median pinnules two times longer than proximal pinnules. Radiolar tips short ( Figure 2J View Figure 2 ). The palmate membrane extends about three-quarters the length of branchial crown. Lateral flanges broad ( Figure 2H, J View Figure 2 ). Dorsal lips broadly rounded in frontal view, as long as wide, without mid-rib, resembling the ventral lips, longer than wide in dorso-lateral view. Dorsal pinnular appendages: (two pairs) united by a palmate membrane (pm) ( Figure 2I View Figure 2 ). Ventral lips rounded, as long as wide, about one-quarter the length of dorsal lips. Ventral radiolar appendages: (eight short pairs).
Peristomium . Anterior peristomial ring lobe not exposed beyond collar, distally entire, triangular. Posterior peristomial ring collar: antero-dorsal margins entire ( Figure 2A, D View Figure 2 ), forming two well-developed dorsal pockets; entire length of mid-dorsal collar margins forms a narrow gap; faecal groove broad, V-shaped, from segment of collar to segment 2 ( Figure 2A View Figure 2 ); lateral and ventral margins entire ( Figure 2B, C, E View Figure 2 ); ventral margin higher than dorsal. Ventral shield of collar swollen, horseshoe-shaped, as wide as long ( Figure 2B, E View Figure 2 ). Ratio of posterior peristomial ring collar length versus chaetiger 2 length, in lateral view: 2.5:1 ( Figure 2C View Figure 2 ).
Thorax. Chaetiger 1: two groups of eight elongate, narrowly hooded chaetae. Chaetigers 2– 8: notopodia—two rows of elongate, narrowly hooded chaetae ( Figure 2O View Figure 2 ); one anterior row with bayonet chaetae, two posterior rows with symmetrical, paleate chaetae with a very short mucro, sometimes minute or not discernible ( Figure 2L–N View Figure 2 ); neuropodia—two irregular rows of 25 acicular uncini per torus, facing in the same direction, the oldest upper parts of the tori have only one row (one-quarter the length of tori), main fang surmounted by six rows of teeth, second tooth enlarged, located in the midline; dentition covering one-quarter the main fang length ( Figure 2K View Figure 2 ). Glandular ridge on chaetiger 2: narrow.
Abdomen. Abdominal segments: 63 (58–64). Anterior segments: two transverse rows of elongate, narrowly hooded chaetae, chaetae from upper row 50% shorter than chaetae in lower one; uncini with the main fang surmounted by four rows of teeth equal in size, occupying one-half the length of main fang, older (dorsalmost) uncini smaller than younger uncini (ventralmost), main fang not extending beyond breast, breast rectangular
( Figure 2P View Figure 2 ). Posterior segments: one or two very elongate, narrowly hooded chaetae; uncini similar to those in anterior abdomen ( Figure 2Q View Figure 2 ). Pygidium pointed ( Figure 2F View Figure 2 ).
Gametes. Holotype without gametes; females with oocytes in thorax ( RBCM 985-403 View Materials - 4 View Materials ) and abdomen ( USNM 43637 View Materials ).
Methyl green staining. The entire body turns uniformly green. The anterior half of the collar is not coloured, posterior end dark. Anterior half of the ventral shield of collar not coloured, posterior half dark.
Remarks
Megachone View in CoL was synonymized in Chone View in CoL by Banse (1972) by the presence of spatulate chaetae in the type species. Banse (1972) recorded irregular orange-red spots in collar and anterior segments in the holotype. These spots are actually whitish and iridescent.
Chone aurantiaca View in CoL , C. gracilis View in CoL , C. magna View in CoL , C. mollis View in CoL , C. picta , and the type species ( C. infundibuliformis View in CoL ) constitute a group of species (Group I) that have anterior and posterior abdominal uncini of similar shape (Table III). This is in contrast with a second group (Group II) in which the posterior abdominal uncini are modified (Table II).
Chone aurantiaca , C. farringtonae , and C. magna have a long posterior peristomial ring collar: in C. aurantiaca and C. farringtonae it is 2.5 times as long as second chaetiger (three times longer in C. magna ). Chone aurantiaca and C. magna have uniform abdominal uncini throughout and narrow glandular ridge on chaetiger 2 (posterior abdominal uncini modified and broad glandular ridge in C. farringtonae ). Chone aurantiaca can be distinguished from C. magna by having short radiolar tips (long in C. magna ), broad radiolar flanges (narrow in C. magna ), and ventral shield of collar horseshoe-shaped (rounded in C. magna ).
In the case of Chone aurantiaca , C. mollis ( Figure 19B View Figure 19 ), and C. infundibuliformis the glandular ridge occupies only the external half of the ventral glandular epithelium; whereas dorsally, the glandular ridge occupies only a very small area. For Chone aurantiaca and C. infundibuliformis, Tovar-Hernández and Sosa-Rodríguez (2006) determined that the glandular ridge is composed of strongly differentiated acidophil glandular cells, tubularshaped with granulose secretions. From both taxonomic and systematic standpoints, it is recommended that the characterization of the external shape and the extension within the epithelium of the glandular ridge be taken into account as species diagnostic characters.
