| Notes |
Etymology: named after the form of the parapodia, broadening out distally in a fan shape. Flabellum is latin for ‘fan’ [details] Taxonomy: differs from Ophryotrocha globopalpata in the form of the jaw forceps, and in the form of the parapodia, where the new species have a small, nublike dorsal cirrus, while O. globopalpata lack parapodial cirri. The jaws and palps on this species are also similar to Ophryotrocha longidentata Josefson, 1975. [details] Type locality: Santa Cruz Basin, East Pacific, 33° 30 0 N, 119° 22 0 W,whale-fall at 1675 m [details] | |||||||
