From editor or global species database
Etymology named after the form of the parapodia, broadening out distally in a fan shape. Flabellum is latin for ‘fan’ [details]
Taxonomy differs from Ophryotrocha globopalpata in the form of the jaw forceps, and in the form of the parapodia, where the new species have a small, nublike dorsal cirrus, while O. globopalpata lack parapodial cirri. The jaws and palps on this species are also similar to Ophryotrocha longidentata Josefson, 1975. [details]
