In the course of an investigation on the polychaetous annelids from the South Seas I met with a remarkable polychaete probably referable to the rare genus Poecilochaetus. As far as I am aware, only two species of the genus have hitherto been recorded from the circumboreal regions, and the present new species occurring in the tropical zone differs distinctly from them in several points. A brief description of the species will be given here, and a detailed account on this geographically isolated species will be afforded later. I would like to express my cordial thanks to Prof. Tohru Uchida for his kind supervision.
