Figure 3. SEM of Megalommaphyllisae n.sp., paratype AM W35476: (A) chaetae last thoracic chaetiger, ventral view; (B,C) companion 
chaetae same chaetiger; (D) uncini same chaetiger; (E) uncini anterior abdominal chaetiger; (F) Anterior abdominal chaetae, dorsal view; 
(G) detail of inferior abdominal chaetae same chaetiger. 
lappets. These are M. acrophthalmos (Grube, 1878), M. 
fauchaldi Giangrande etal., 2007, M. vesiculosum (Montagu, 
1815) and M. claparedii (Gravier, 1908) as described by 
Giangrande and Licciano (2008). Megalomma phyllisae 
n.sp. is distinguished from M. circumspectum (Moore, 
1923) in the arrangement of radiolar eyes which are lacking 
in some ventral radioles in the new species and present in 
all radioles in M. circumspectum (Hartman, 1969); thoracic 
uncini also differ in the two species—uncini handles of M. 
phyllisae n.sp. are approximately twice as long as those of 
M. circumspectum.
