NO. 3 hartman: polychaetous annelids 201 



Family Ghrysopetalidac 



Genus PALEANOTUS Schmarda 



Differs from Chrysopetalum Ehlers in that the notopodium is pro- 

 vided with 2 kinds of setae : ( 1 ) broad spatulate in the supraacicular 

 fascicle, and (2) narrower, more pointed setae in the subacicular fascicle. 

 Includes Heteropale Johnson.

 Collection. — 126-33. One specimen. 



The single individual is ovigerous, incomplete posteriorly. Its small 

 size, inconspicuous coloration, and fragility do not favor its discovery 

 in collections, although it is perhaps much more commonly present than 

 its incidence in collections would indicate. 



Distribution. — Cape of Good Hope; north and east Pacific, from 

 British Columbia south to Peru. Littoral. 



Family Amphinomidae 



Seven species in 5 genera are represented in the collections. These are 

 separable as follows. 



1. Body long, subcylindrical ; branchiae arborescent, forming com- 

 pact tufts along the notopodial ridge; caruncle a smooth or 

 sinuate crest (pi. 31, fig. 1) 2 



1. Body short, depressed oval; branchiae tuftlike or pinnatified; 

 caruncle forms a plaited crest or is laterally lamellated ... 3 



2. Caruncle reduced, extends posteriorly to middle of second 

 setigerous segment; posterior bifurcated neuropodial setae with 

 one or several denticulations on the main fang (pi. 31, fig. 6) ; 

 smaller, to 50 mm long . . Pareurythoe calif ornica, p. 203 



2. Caruncle larger, conceals much of the prostomium and extends 

 posteriorly beyond the third setigerous segment (pi. 31, fig. 1 ) ; 

 most of the posterior bifurcated setae are smooth ; larger, to 

 about 350 mm long .... Eurythoe cornplanata, p. 202
