We have recently come across some annelids in some freshwater benthic
samples. These annelids have parapodial-type appendages only on the
posterior portion of the body. These appendages also seem to lack any
noticeable setae. We collected these worms along with other polychaetes, but
we have only recently sent them to an expert. Does anyone have any ideas?
Any information on identification, references, etc. would greatly be
appreciated.
Thanks
