Notopodia (Figure 2j) with three ciliated cush- 

 ions dorsally, three terminal stylodes on first 

 few feet but only one stylode from 10th foot. 

 Neuropodia with three small perisetal bracts; 

 one superior with an apical stylode, one antero- 

 inferior without a stylode and one postero- 

 inferior with an apical stylode. Third stylode 

 at apex of setigerous lobe. Sides of parapodia 

 without long papillae. 



Notosetae as long, simple capillaries, mi- 

 nutely serrated on one margin. Neurosetae all 



compound, simple bipectinate setae being 

 absent. Compound setae (Figure 2h, i) all with 

 smooth shaft-heads; a few with short bidentate 

 blades, many with long multiarticulate blades. 



Remarks. — S. aiiociila is generally similar 

 to S. limicola but is distinguished from the 

 latter by the lack of eyes, the lack of simple 

 bipectinate neurosetae and the absence of an 

 incision on the posterior elytra. 



Records. — Fifteen specimens on sandy mud 

 80-200 m off Beaufort (21, *).
