Diagnosis Original diagnosis by Kinberg (1865: 178): "Lobus cephalicus ovalis, segmentis binis proximis longior, fronte angustiore nec compressa, margine posteriore integro; oculi mediocres; antennae approximatae dimidiam longitudinem lobi cephalici aequantes, apicibus palporum breviores; cirri tentaculares laeves, breves: paris 3:ii segmentum 7 attingunt; dentes maxillae 7." [details]
Distribution Southwestern Atlantic Ocean (off La Plata River) to Southern Ocean; species common in Antarctic and Subantarctic waters. [details]

Habitat Algae, sand, gravel, stones, or mud, at shelf to bathyal depths. [details]
Reproduction "Gravid females with no sign of epitoky have been found. Monro (1930:108, as Leptonereis loxechini) described a male heteronereid." (Pettibone, 1971: 11): [details]
Type locality Off the mouth of La Plata River, Argentina, Atlantic Ocean (gazetteer estimate -37°, -56°). [details]
Type material Holotype deposited in the Swedish Museum of Natural History, Stockholm, Sweden (NRS 493). [details]
