bases of the frontal paired antennae. The latter are nearly in contact at 

 their bases ; they are pale for a short distance and deep purple more dis- 

 tally (pi. 32, fig. 14). 



In general appearance and size this species resembles Chloeia viridis. 

 The dorsum, however, is marked with a single broad, longitudinal stripe 

 in place of the 3 stripes; also, the body is less firm in preservative (alco- 

 hol), the setae more translucent or yellowish. 



A single small, perhaps juvenile, individual, only 8 mm long, with 18 

 setigerous segments, is of interest because of its origin far to the north 

 (Anacapa Island, California) of the typical C. entypa Chamberlin, from 

 western Mexico. The dorsal pigmented pattern is absent, perhaps because 

 of its immature condition, but the more posterior notopodia have bifur- 

 cated notopodial setae that are serrated on the outer side (pi. 31, fig. 19), 

 as is typical of C. entypa from the Gulf of California (pi. 31, figs. 15, 16, 

 20). The smooth notopodial and neuropodial setae, likewise, resemble 

 those of larger individuals (pi. 31, figs. 17, 18). The prostomial lobe is 

 more rectangular, the posterior eyes proportionately larger, and the car- 

 uncle with folds hardly developed. There is a diffuse dusky spot just an- 

 terior to the frontal antennae, such as Moore described for C. pinnata 

 (1911, pp. 239-243, pi. 15, figs. 1-6) from southern California. In its 

 setal structures, however, it agrees with those of C. entypa (see also C. 

 pinnata, below). 



Distribution. — Western Mexico; Ecuador; Colombia; Bahia Honda, 

 Panama; California. In depths of 7 to 66 fms.

Collections.— 9U-39, 915-39. 4 specimens. 



Length to 17 mm. General color pale salmon, without bands or other 

 pigmented pattern but with minute dark specks dispersed over the dor- 

 sum. Caruncle with a dark median stripe and similar, though paler, pig- 

 ment over the paired folds. Eyes dark purple, the larger anterior eyes 

 circular, but more or less completely merging with the smaller, posterior 

 eyes that are also circular (pi. 31, fig. 10). 



Ceratophores of dorsal cirri dark purple, the anteriormost dorsal cirri 

 pale, but from about the forty-fifth segment they are increasingly darker
