Remarks. The prostomium (Fig. 18) is very broad 

 and divided by a median groove. The peaks are not 

 clearly defined. The eyes are very small and some- 

 times invisible. The median tentaculophore is very 

 large, and all three tentaculophores are reddish brown. 

 The elytra have small tubercles and slender clavate 

 papillae. The dorsal chaetae are lightly pectinated, and 

 the ventral are long, slender, unidentate and end in a 

 hirsute tip. 



I have already elsew^here (Monro, 1929, p. 162) 

 given reasons for my opinion that Aiistrolaenilla qx 



should be regarded as a synonym of Antinoe, Kinberg, pj^ ^g. Aminoe antarctka. Head.

St. 274. 4. viii. 27. Off St Paul de Loanda, Angola. From 8° 40' 15" S, 13" 13' 45" E to 

 8° 38' 15" S, 13° 13' 00" E. 64-65 m. Gear OTL. Bottom: grey mud. One specimen. 



Description. One specimen, incomplete posteriorly. There are 28 chaetigers and 

 14 pairs of elytrophores ; the measurement is 29 mm. by 3 mm. w^ithout the feet. 



The prostomium (Fig. 19, a) is broader than long and deeply incised in front. There 

 are two pairs of eyes of which the anterior is on the front apexes and the posterior at 

 the hinder corners of the head. There are no peaks, their place being taken by the 

 anterior eyes. The median tentacle has a very large tentaculophore set between the 

 anterior eyes, and a long style about three times the length of the head. The lateral 

 tentacles are small, about the length of the head, and their tentaculophores are hidden 

 from above by the eyes and median tentaculophore. The palps are long, reaching 

 back along the dorsum to the 7th chaetiger and the tentacular cirri are about twice the 

 length of the lateral tentacles. Neither the appendages of the head nor the cirri are 

 hirsute. 



The elytra are all lost, but the first 14 pairs of elytrophores are arranged as in 

 Harmothoe. 



The dorsal cirrophores are large inflated-looking structures, which reach to the end 

 of the feet, and the dorsal cirri extend well beyond the tips of the bristles. The elytro- 

 phores also have a somewhat inflated appearance and are about half the length of the 

 cirrophores. The feet (Fig. 19, ft) are biramous. 



The dorsal ramus is on the upper and anterior face of the neuropodium, and consists 

 of a rounded chaeta-sac carried out into a point by a long sheathed aciculum.
