Pleijelius longae n. gen., n. sp., a remarkable deep water polychaete from the Northwestern Atlantic (Polychaeta: Hesionidae)
A new genus and species, Pleijelius longae n. gen., n. sp., is proposed for a small hesionid from deep water off Woods Hole, in the Northwestern Atlantic Ocean. The new genus can be separated from other members of the family by having six pairs of enlarged anterior cirri, abundant dorsally-oriented...
