Etymology Terebellosuctoria keelingensis is named for the nearby Cocos (Keeling) Islands. The collection station.is on seamounts about 280 km to the South of Cocos (Keeling) atoll group of islands. [The dual name is official with the first name of Cocos referring to the abundant coconut trees, while Keeling refers to William Keeling, who discovered the islands in 1609] [details]

Diagnosis Terebellosuctoria keelingensis sp. nov. is characterised by having two pairs of branchiae and 22 pairs of notopodia, by short elongate lateral lobes on segment 3, by the absence of eyespots and by the presence of a pygidium with 10–20 short digitiform papillae. The species builds simple chitinous tubes covered with foraminifera, The tubes do not have branching outgrowths at the opening or along the tube surface (Fig. 22C), unlike T jimii.. [details]
