delicate, without marginal fringes and surface 

 with only a few weak tubercles bearing four 

 to six spinules. Notosetae deciduous leaving 

 only a stout aciculum in the notopodia; when 

 present, notosetae very fine and serrated to 

 their hairlike tips (Figure Ih). Neurosetae 

 (Figure li) slender, slightly stouter than noto- 

 setae and bearing long blades ending in naked 

 tips with two subequal teeth. 



Remarks. — The size and number of segments 

 shows that all specimens are juveniles. The very 

 fine setae and pigmentation are quite distinctive. 



Rcroi-ds. — Off Beaufort in 85 m (*). 



Harmothoe sp. B 



FiyTjiu lj-1 



DcsciiptioiL — Body pale in alcohol, 4.5 mm 

 long with less than 25 setigers and 8-11 pairs 



of elytra. Prostomium with small cephalic peaks 

 and anterior pair of eyes lateral. Lateral an- 

 tennae half as long as prostomium. Antennae 

 and dorsal cirri with short clavate papillae. 

 Elytra (Figure 11) mottled gray-green with a 

 central dark spot, not fringed but with a few 

 soft papillae and a scattering of hemispherical 

 weakly chitinized microtubercles on surface. 

 Notosetae (Figure Ij), stout and strongly ser- 

 rated to their blunt, grooved ends. Neurosetae 

 (Figure Ik), more slender than notosetae and all 

 with bidentate tijjs. 



R< iiKirks. — These juvenile specimens may be 

 H(i niiolliiH (ltd rhonil Pettibone, but the neuro- 

 setae have a much longer secondary tooth and 

 the body lacks a iiisty red coloration. 



Reroi'ds. — Six juveniles off Beaufort in 35 m 



Distributinu. — (of H. dvurbitDii). On Surgan- 

 siini weed floating off Massachusetts.
