Spiophanes cf. viriosus Meissner & Hutchings, 2003

Remarks.

The specimen is only a middle fragment in poor condition, without prostomium and posterior end. Due to this we abstain from a more detailed description. However, based on pigment observable in parapodia of the middle body region, chaetal spreaders which are not of the ‘0+1’ type but possibly of the '2+3 type’ present in chaetigers 5-7, and glandular openings in chaetiger 8 being absent the fragment might be tentatively referred to Spiophanes viriosus Meißner & Hutchings, 2003.

Spiophanes viriosus was originally described from coastal waters in Queensland, Australia.
