Alciopa Reynaudii Stop-Bowitz, 1948, p. 30, fig. 21. 



Description. The longest complete specimen of Alciopa reynaudii measures 46 mm. long by 10 mm. 

 wide across the tips of chaetae. One pair of short conical antennae is directed forward from the 

 anterior border of the prostomium, and the other pair directed laterally from the side; the single 

 antenna is dorsal between the eyes and is merely a knob-like structure on a pale surface area. There 

 are three pairs of tentacular cirri, all small but the middle one longer than the others. All parapodia 

 are well developed with large imbricated cordiform dorsal cirri, ventral foliaceous cirri, two cirriform 

 appendages on the pedal lobe, long compound slender capillary chaetae and pigmented segmental 

 glands. Each segment carries dorsally and ventrally dark brown lateral markings which may dis- 

 appear after long periods in preservative fluid. The body tapers to a fine point at the pygidium and 

 carries a long unpaired anal cirrus. The whole aspect of this species is one of massiveness when com- 

 pared with the elongate fragile species in other genera of the family. 



General distribution. A. reynaudii has been frequently recorded from the South Atlantic, where it 

 has its southern limit of distribution at the Sub-Tropical Convergence (see p. 257).

 Torrea Candida Monro, 1936, p. 119. 



Monro (1930) reported this species from 'Discovery' Sts. 102, N 100 H, 104 m. (1) and 294, 

 TYF, ioo-i5o(-o) m. (1), and in 1936 from St. 714 TYFB, 246-0 m. (1) but all these specimens are 

 fragmentary and not identifiable with accuracy. 



Family TYPHLOSCOLECIDAE 



Exclusively pelagic. Body spindle-shaped or cylindrical. Prostomium not distinctly marked off from 

 the rest of the body, terminated with a palpode, without eyes. Projecting nuchal organs present. 

 Peristomium indistinct, bearing one pair of large foliaceous cirri. The two succeeding segments also 

 bear only one pair, but thereafter there are two representing the dorsal and ventral cirri of the para- 

 podia. Pedal mamelon reduced, with an acicula and a few small acicular chaetae visible. Two 

 foliaceous anal cirri.
