Remarks. — I do not agree with Dr. Pettibone's 

 suggestion that L. infiutn is synonyniou.s with 

 L. cocciiii a. The maxillae of L. infiata are quite 

 characteristic and L. infata i.s re.stricted to 

 tropical and subtropical areas. 



Recdi'ds. — North Carolina: common on rocks 

 and coral from low tide to 18 m (14, 20, 21, *). 



Dixtril)nti{in. — Circumtropical on rocky 

 shores: intertidal to 30 m.

Dc.'icriptiou. — Body threadlike, up to 25 mm 

 long. Prostomium very long, highly contractile, 

 usually pointed, occasionally sausage-shaped. 

 Mandibles delicate and tapered to long slender 

 shafts in contact throughout. Dental formula: 

 Mx. I = (2-3) + (2-3), (main fangs indistinctly 

 bidentate or even tridentate); II = 3 -I- 3; III = 

 1 + 1; IV = 1 + 1 (large oval black plates). 

 Maxillary supports short and broad. First six to 

 eight parapodia very small or rudimentary, sub- 



sequent feet larger, with conical postsetal lobes 

 obviously longer than the low presetal ones. 

 One to three broad-winged capillary setae from 

 first foot to posterior feet. One to two simple 

 hooks from setiger 4-6 to posterior end; each 

 hook bidentate with two stout teeth at right 

 angles to one another. Acicula pale. 



Ri'inai-lis — Fauchald's description of L. platij- 

 pmios is almost identical to that given above 

 but the examination of many specimens shows 

 that the shape of Mx. I is more variable than he 

 has indicated. 



/?f.ro)f/.s-.— Off Beaufort in 5-20 m (21, *). 



Distril>ntion. — South Africa (26 m); Bermuda 

 ( 1.000 m) ; Pacific coast of Mexico.

Ri nuvii-s. — The three species, L. acnta Verrill, 

 L. paradoxa Saint-Joseph and L. aberrans Day, 

 all with characteristically long prostomia, are 

 easily distinguished by the shape of the hooded 

 hooks. In L. acnta. as described by Hartman, 

 (1942a: 114, Fig. 10 d.), the hooks have a crest 

 of minute denticles above a larger tooth, as is 

 usual in the genus Ln nihrineris. In L. parado.ra 

 there are two large teeth which are almost 

 parallel and in L. al)ei-mn.'< there are two very 

 stout teeth at right angles to one another. I 

 agree with Hartman that L. nrncronata Ehlers 

 is a synonym of L. parado.va, and it may also 

 be noted that the hooded hook figured by Petti- 

 bone, (1963a, Fig. 67 i) for L. acnta also refers 

 to L. parado.ra. 



Records. — Four specimens off Beaufort in 

 160-200 m (*). 



Distribntion. — Azores; Bermuda; off Congo 

 River mouth and North Carolina in 44-1.700 m.
