Atlantidrilus, a new genus of deep-sea Tubificidae (Oligochaeta)

Pages 43-46 | Received 02 Oct 1981, Published online: 22 Dec 2011
 

Abstract

Atlantidrilus gen. n. (subfamily Phallodrilinae) is established for two deep-sea species from the NE Atlantic. The new genus is characterized by its lack of anterior prostate glands, and its possession of penial setae, and styliform and permanently projecting copulatory organs. The description of A. styloatriatus (Erséus, 1979) comb, n., transferred from Phallodrilus, is revised, and A. quadrisetis sp. n. is described. The species differ from each other in dimensions of setae and spermathecae, and in the positions of the prostate glands on the atria.
