AB  - <i>Eunice metatropos</i> sp. nov., a species of eunicid polychaete from Western Australia, is described and illustrated. It is compared with other species of <i>Eunice</i> Cuvier which also inhabit tough pliable parchment-like tubes. Unlike other tube dwelling eunicids, all twelve specimens had acted in concert during the early stages of tube building, entwining the tubes together for about one third of their length. After this initial phase each tube separates and diverges from the others producing a remarkable tree-like structure.
