Diagnosis [Neosabellaria sequence from the key of Capa, Hutchings, Peart, 2012] Opercular lobes completely fused. Outer row of opercular paleae with cylindrical blades. Tentacular filaments compound (numerous and arranged in transverse rows). Three parathoracic segments.[full diagnosis of Neosabellaria from Capa & Hutchings, 2020] Operculum length similar to maximum width, with lobes completely fused, although shallow midventral indentation sometimes present at the proximal end; distal end flat and perpendicular to the longitudinal axis. Conical and small opercular papillae. Outer paleae numerous, arranged in semicircles, geniculate, with excavated blades, smooth lateral margins and denticulated distal margin with a midline plume. Inner opercular paleae giving the appearance of two rows. Middle paleae geniculate with excavated, smooth blades and pointed tips directed outward, some species with rounded-tipped blades also present. Innermost paleae strongly geniculated, with short and concave ones directed inward. Nuchal spines absent. Compound tentacular filaments arranged in series of rows; buccal flaps absent. Palps shorter than half length of operculum (often half of the operculum length). Median organ at dorsal junction of lobes of opercular stalk present in some specimens, but small. Neuropodia of segment 1 with one pair of cirri and capillary chaetae. Segment 2 with two pairs of triangular-shaped lobes between noto and neuropodia. Thoracic branchiae present. Three parathoracic segments. Parathoracic notochaetae lanceolate and capillaries alternating; neurochaetae similar in shape but smaller. Abdominal branchiae absent in posterior segments. [details]
