Diagnosis "Parapodia biramous, with prechaetal lobe and ventral lobe on each parapodium; dorsal cirrus not present. Prechaetal lobes highly asymmetrical; wide and foliose from chaetiger 1 to chaetiger 3, then becoming progressively smaller towards last chaetigers; prechaetal lobe tip ventrally displaced; conspicuous bilobed appearance from midbody to last chaetigers. Anal tube square-shaped, as long as last 2 chaetigers; posterior and ventral margins open, provided with long unpaired anal cirrus, thick at base and distally tapered, projecting outwardly. Posterior border provided with 5–6 pairs of elongate, finger-like, paired anal cirri, almost as long as anal tube, shorter and thinner than pair of clavate basal cirri." (Parapar & Moreira, 2015: 587-588).  [details]

Distribution Australia (Queensland), Great Barrier Reef, Lizard Island: Casuarina Beach, Vicki's Reef, and North Point. [details]

Etymology The specific epithet laminosa is the feminin of the Latin adjective laminosus, meaning 'having the shape of a leaf or of a blade', and refers to the foliose shape of the parapodial prechaetal lobes of the first three chaetigers.  [details]

Habitat Several types of sediments, mainly in sand, but also associated with Halophila seagrass, from intertidal to sublittoral (15 m).  [details]
