short parapodia. Maldane setrsi has a characteristic melanistic pigment 

 pattern when coming from shallow bottoms; deep water representatives

 specimens are smaller. Terebellides stroemi from basin depths is smaller 

 and has branchiae less compact than from shallow depths. Other examples 

 might be cited.
