New combination New combination from Myriochele by Capa et al. (2012: 248) who write: "Galathowenia haplosoma (Gibbs, 1972) was described from the Cook Islands as a Myriochele species. Owing to the shape of the head and the lacking references to the acicular chaetae, we consider that it should be moved to Galathowenia. Members of this species are small (4.0 to 7.5 mm length) and share with G. quelis sp. nov. the presence of eyes and a pygidium divided by a small cleft (Gibbs, 1972: fig. 8a–c), but differ in the relative length of uniramous segments (1:1:0.5 in G. haplosoma vs. 1:2:1 in G. quelis sp. nov.)."
