| Notes |
Etymology: The species name is derived from the Latin masculine adjective aurantiacus ("orange"), in reference to the light orange color of the proboscis and collar. [details] Habitat: Monterey Submarine Canyon and the base of Davidson Seamount between 60-100 km offshore of Monterey, California, at depths between 2,900-3,500 meters. [details] Length: The holotype specimen is ~26cm long. [details] Morphology: Ovaries are located outside of the body (in lateral wings, along the pharyngeal region). [details] Additional information: This is a formal description of Genus D, Species 1 in the recent Osborn et al. paper, which overall identified a number of previously undescribed species in the Torquaratoridae. Not all of them have been formally named (yet). [details] | |||||||
