 Tentacular cirri short, about \ ^ the length ot" peristomium. 



Segments short, siil)e()nal, with a })rotuberant parapodiiiin 

 on each si(l(\ Kacli ])arapodiuni of the first and the second pair 

 projects forwards on each side of prostomium ; tliat of the former 

 reaching a little beyond the front margin of prostominm. Tliese 

 two pairs of j)ai'apodia- are armed each with about fonr strong 

 si)ii])le bristles slightly curved at the a.pex, whicli is thick and
