Key to 12 Chaetozone View in CoL species from the North Atlantic Ocean

(Note: Recent published descriptions of Chaetozone caputesocis and C. zetlandica do not fully agree with the definition of Chaetozone and are not included in the following key; MG = Methyl Green).

1 Anterior body with distinctly enlarged fusiform segments anterior to abdominal segments............................2

- Anterior body segments only slightly enlarged, gradually tapering posteriorly......................................3

2 Anterior body segments enlarged dorsally into hump-backed configuration; peristomium not divided into rings, dorsal tentacles arising from posterior margin of peristomium; posterior parapodia with partial cinctures, up to 8 spines on a side; MG pattern not tested................................................................................. C. gibber View in CoL

- Anterior segments enlarged forming distinct fusiform shape; peristomium with two distinct rings, dorsal tentacles arising from smaller second peristomial ring; posterior parapodia with complete cinctures, up to 16 spines on a side; elaborate MG staining pattern throughout body.................................................................... C. elakata View in CoL n. sp.

3 First complete body segment asetigerous; first branchiae on asetigerous segment; eyes absent; long natatory-like capillaries present or absent...................................................................................... 4

- First complete body segment setigerous; first branchiae either on posterior margin of peristomium or setiger 1; eyes present or absent; long natatory-like capillaries absent.................................................................7

4 Peristomium with dorsal crest; dorsal tentacles in notch between peristomium and setiger 1; long natatory-like setae on all segments from setigers 18–21; deep groove present along venter; MG stains peristomial area, stripes on anterior thoracic segments, and posterior cinctured segment.............................................................. C. setosa View in CoL
