Diagnosis. Quadrangular prostomium, T-shaped, with two short lateral horns and a small postero-dorsal elevation, near peristomium. Mouth formed by one pair of upper lips and one pair of lower lips. Branchiae present from chaetiger 2–5. Dorsally, anterior region quadriannulate, becoming pentannulated posteriorly. Ventrally, chaetiger 1–2 triannulate, then quadriannulate to pentannulate on posterior chaetigers. Short spinous chaetae present on chaetiger 1 anterior to capillaries, being replaced by 5–6 lyrate chaetae with equal tynes on chaetiger 2.
Description. Holotype 12 mm long for 1–3 mm wide for 34 chaetigers, incomplete, pygidium absent, ovigerous female. Paratypes, 5–12 mm long for 0.2–1 mm wide for 28–45 chaetigers. Large size species, adults measuring 8–12 mm long, and 1–3 mm wide across 27–34 chaetigers. Body arenicoliform, expanded on chaetiger 4–5 up to mid-body segments. Color in alcohol pale tan to yellowish. Body surface covered by annulated secondarily rings, each one formed by numerous rectangular pads anteriorly and quadrangular to rounded pads posteriorly, giving a complex areolate appearance. These pads may have small individual glands inside, blackish, consisting of thin entangled tubules.
Quadrangular prostomium, T-shaped, with two short lateral horns and a small postero-dorsal elevation, near peristomium ( Fig. 2A View FIGURE 2 ). Eyes absent. Nuchal organs not observed. Peristomium achaetous, dorsally uniannulated, becoming biannulated ventrally ( Fig. 1A View FIGURE 1 ). Peristomium sometimes with small rectangular pads dorsally, laterally, and ventrally. Mouth formed by one pair of upper lips and one pair of lower lips ( Fig. 1A View FIGURE 1 ). Upper pair of superior lips present as two parallel rows of paired lobes; with 9–10 paired lobes on superior-most row and 7–8 paired lobes on inferior-most row. Lower pair of inferior lips present as two parallel rows of paired lobes; with 7–10 paired lobes on superior-most row and 10–12 on inferior-most row ( Fig. 1A View FIGURE 1 ). Ventral groove succeeds inferior-most row of lower lips with a large single pad paired to chaetiger 1 secondarily annuli. Proboscis not observed.
Dorsally, anterior region quadriannulate, becoming pentannulate posteriorly. Ventrally, chaetigers 1–2 triannulate, then quadriannulate to pentannulate on posterior chaetigers ( Fig. 2A View FIGURE 2 ). Ventral groove from chaetiger 1, with each body segment having a single pad merging with next one, forming a mid-ridge line to posterior end. The first pad larger and undivided ( Fig. 1A View FIGURE 1 ); following pads may be subdivided two or three times, forming bi or triannulated quadrangular blocks ( Fig. 1A View FIGURE 1 ).
Branched branchiae present from chaetigers 2–5, posterior to capillaries on notopodia ( Figs 1B View FIGURE 1 ; 2A View FIGURE 2 ). First pair of branchiae small, gradually becoming larger ( Fig. 2A View FIGURE 2 ). First chaetiger smaller, conspicuous, formed by a main rhomboid pad sustaining a smaller rounded pad from which arise a parapodium with two rows of smooth capillaries, accompanied by 5–6 short, curved and distally pointed spinous chaetae anterior to capillaries ( Figs 1C View FIGURE 1 ; 2B View FIGURE 2 ). Spinous chaetae present on chaetiger 1, being replaced by 5–6 lyrate chaetae with equal tynes on chaetiger 2 ( Figs 1D View FIGURE 1 ; 2C View FIGURE 2 ). Following chaetigers with same rhomboidal pattern, but with longer parapodial lobes; with a knob-like interramal papilla emerging between noto- and neuropodia. Posterior region with a single row of capillaries and 4–5 lyrate chaetae. Ventral and dorsal cirri present from chaetigers 14–17. Parapodial cirri with a gradation in size and shape, with first pair small and rounded, then becoming larger and apically thinner ( Fig. 1E–G View FIGURE 1 ). Neuropodia of chaetigers 4–6 with a single inferior glandular patch ( Fig. 5D, E View FIGURE 5 ). Dorsally, chaetigers 4–6 also with a single patch of glands in each annulus of pad ( Fig. 5D, E View FIGURE 5 ). Blackish glands varying from single entangled cellular stripes to robust tubular structures, covering inner portion of each parapodial cirrus partially to entirely, from its axis to basis, without dorsal or ventral differentiation ( Fig. 5F View FIGURE 5 ).
Pygidium absent on holotype and most of additional material, but present in some paratypes. When present, it was observed as with a short crenulated margin formed by several paired lobes, bearing three long anal cirri, with two ventro-lateral and one mid-ventral.
