Dr. Smitha,
I agree with Geoff. Looks like a specimen of Pisionidae with possible male copulatory organs on that 16th segment.

Hi Dr Smitha,
The photos seem to be of a pisionid - family Pisionidae. The 16th seg structures are presumably copulatory organs of a male.
Cheers,
Geoff Read

Dear all,
Any Nereis expert in our group?
I have got one Nereis sp. It has 22 segments and its 16th segment bears a pair of long parapodium compared to others. Referred a number of publications. But I am not able to identify the specimen.
Kindly help me for identify the specimen?
