174 ON THE GENUS CHLOEIA. 
Chloeia violacea, n. sp. 
Siboga-Exped.: St. 174, North-coast of Ceram, Waroe-bay; 
St. 47, Bay of Bima. 
A small slender worm, measuring only 22 mm. in length, 
its greatest breadth in the anterior third of the body being 
only 5 mm. The number of segments amounts to 26. The 
body has a greyish-brown colour; the bristles are yellow. 
Each segment has in the middle of its dorsum a violet 
spot, shaped as an inverted T, the horizontal limb of 
which just corresponds to the posterior border of the seg- 
ment. The main stem of the branchiae and the dorsal 
cirri are dark violet and also a violet stripe runs over 
the middle of the caruncle. The last named organ reaches 
till upon the 4th segment; the unpaired antenna, springing 
from its anterior end, is longer than the caruncle, and the 
paired antennae too are rather long. The mouth seems to 
be limited posteriorly by the 24 segment, that is strongly 
folded in the middle. The ventral cirrus of the second 
segment is extraordinarily elongated, being about twice 
as long as that of the following segments. There are two 
long, tapering anal cirri, 
The first branchia occurs on the 4th segment. The 
ventral bristles are slender, capillary, bifurcated; their 
shortest limb measures about a fifth of the length of the 
long one. The dorsal bristles of the anterior segments are 
stouter, also bifurcated, but the short limb measures only 
a third of the long one that has a smooth tip; in the 
9th segment and in the following ones, these bristles have 
however the long limb serrulated at its exterior border. 
Bathychloeia, n.g. 
Branchiae bipinnate like as in Chloeia; first pair, on 
the fifth body-segment, much larger than those of the 
following ones. Eyes absent. Ventral bristles along the 
inner border coarsely denticulated.
