I would greatly appreciate any assistance with the following specimen.
Incomplete, several pieces , probably from same individual total length ~ 20
mm , largest segment 9mm, width ~ 1mm. Anterior(?) indistinct , no
appendages, Thoracic pads (?) on first two segments. Setae all hirsute
capillaries, Long strap-like cirri (parapodia?) starting on setiger 3 and
continuing for all remaining setigers. Cirri are about 0.3mm long each with 2
hirsute capillary setae at tip. Some cirri branch from base or half way up ,
these branches also have 2 hirsute setae at tips.
Specimen was found in sandy sediment , 4 meters depth, salinity = 24 psu
in lower Chesapeake Bay, mouth of Mobjack Bay.
Thank you for any suggestions you may be able to offer.
Sincerely,
