The ciliated epaulettes are approximately as wide as the body and arranged perpendicularly to its long 

 axis; between them the finely pointed palpode projects forwards. At the base of the dorsal epaulette 

 there are two small oval wings. On each side of the peristomium are the first cirri, large and kidney- 

 shaped, covering the epaulettes laterally. On each of the next two segments there is a pair of oval 

 cirri, and thereafter foliaceous dorsal and ventral cirri are present on all segments up to the end of the
