NO. 1 HARTMAN : POLYCHAETOUS ANNELIDS 79 



(Augener, 1918, p. 155). This conclusion appears justifiable in view 

 of the similarities in the descriptions of the 2 species, even though E. 

 wyvillei was said to have about 15 pairs of elytra and E. splendida 12 

 pairs. According to Mcintosh's figure of E. wyvillei (1885, pi. 20, fig. 

 2) there were 13 pairs of elytra.

Number of setigerous segments to 39; length to 40 mm. Elytra 12 

 pairs, covering the dorsum medially, but leaving the last 7 or 8 seg- 

 ments uncovered. The elytra are white, smooth or slightly wrinkled. 

 In a specimen from Ecuador the first elytrum is suborbicular, with 

 entire margin; in one from Guatemala the anterior margin has 3 to 5 

 marginal papillae. The second elytrum is reniform in outline, the outer 

 half longer than the inner and with about 5 marginal papillae. Varia- 

 tion in the margins of elytra is observable in comparing specimens from 

 different areas. An eighth elytrum from individuals from Ecuador, 

 Guatemala, and California is indicated in plate 23, figures 287, 281, 

 and 288, respectively. The last, or twelfth pair, is elongate, with a 

 limited marginal fringe (pi. 23, fig. 285). 



Dorsal cirri on setigerous segments 3 to 6 are small, conical en- 

 largements just posterior to the dorsal edge of the notopodial fascicle. 

 Ventral cirri of the first setigerous segment are larger than others. They 

 are clavate with an attenuate tip, and extend distally to the end of the 

 parapodia on which they are attached. More posteriorly they are much 

 smaller, though similar in form to the first (pi. 23, figs. 280, 282). 



Setal structures are about as shown by Fauvel for E. geayi (1919, 

 pi. 17), but the pectinate setae have a longer smooth tip (pi. 23, fig. 

 288). Many of the coarse notopodial setae have a slender, attenuate tip 

 (pi. 23, fig. 283), Some of the notoacicula are recurved (pi. 23, fig. 

 284).
