Diagnosis Lanice kellyslateri n. sp., is genetically distinct but morphologically very similar to Lanice conchilega. Lavesque et al (2021: 34) state that “L. kellyslateri n. sp. can be differentiated from L. conchilega by the well defined ventral shields on segments III–IV instead of the presence of ventral shields fused on segments II–IV for L. conchilega, by the upper lip which is never pigmented as in L. conchilega, which is dorsally pigmented with numerous brown spots, by the shape of the neuropodia which are very prominent instead of low sessile ridges as in L. conchilega and by the two first pairs of branchiae connected by dorsal crests, which are absent in L. conchilega.
