Chone veleronis Branchial
lobes and branchial crown
. Insertion of the branchial crown exposed dorsally beyond collar (
Fig. 6
A). Radioles: 12–22 pairs. Radioles with median pinnules slightly longer than proximal pinnules. Radiolar tips long. The palmate membrane (
pm
) extends about three quarters the length of the branchial crown (
Figs 6
E, J). Lateral flanges (
fl
) broad (
Fig. 6
J). Dorsal lips broadly rounded in frontal view, as long as wide, without mid-rib, resembling the ventral lips, longer than wide in dorso-lateral view. Dorsal pinnular appendages (
dpa
): 1–4 short pairs united by a palmate membrane (
Fig. 6
K). Ventral lips rounded, as long as wide, about one quarter the length of the dorsal lips. Ventral radiolar appendages: 1–2 pairs, short, as long as basal pinnules of the ventral most radiole.

(A– B, E) Methyl green staining. (A–B, E, J–K) [ZMO Vausủ, Sars 90]; (C–D, F–I) [ZMUB 25488].
Peristomium
. Anterior peristomial ring lobe (
aprl
) not exposed beyond collar, distally entire, triangular (
Fig. 6
B). Posterior peristomial ring collar: antero-dorsal (
Fig. 6
A), ventral and lateral margins entire (
Figs 6
B, E), ventral margin higher than dorsal (
Fig. 6
B); longitudinal grooves on dorsal, ventral and lateral sides of collar; entire length of mid-dorsal collar margins forms a broad gap. Dorsal pockets well developed. Ventral shield of collar rounded (
Fig. 6
E) (not easily discernible). Ratio of posterior peristomial ring collar length
versus
chaetiger 2 length, in lateral view: 2:1.
Thorax
. Chaetigers 2 to 8: notopodia– two irregular rows of elongate, narrowly hooded chaetae (
Fig.
6
I); one anterior row with narrow bayonet chaetae (
Fig. 6
G); two posterior rows with symmetrical; paleate chaetae with a short mucro (
Fig. 6
H); neuropodia– two irregular rows of acicular uncini per torus (
Fig. 6
F), second tooth enlarged, located in the midline, dentition covering one quarter of the main fang length. Glandular ridge on chaetiger 2 narrow.
Abdomen
. Abdominal segments: 68–74. Anterior (
Fig. 6
C) and posterior uncini (
Fig. 6
D) similar, with the main fang surmounted by four rows of teeth equal in size, occupying less than half the length of main fang, main fang not extending beyond breast, breast rectangular. Pygidium with rounded posterior margin.
Methyl green staining
. Body stains uniformly, except for the anterior margin of collar (
Figs 6
A–B, E).
Remarks.
In
C. fauveli
,
C. aurantiaca
,
C. magna
,
C. picta
and
C. veleronis
, the ventral margin of collar is higher than dorsal margin, and the ratio of posterior peristomial ring collar length
versus
chaetiger 2 length, in lateral view is 2:1.
Chone fauveli
and
C. veleronis
have broad flanges and radiolar tips long, but the glandular ridge on chaetiger 2 is rounded in
C. fauveli
and sunglasses-shaped extending to the first half of the third segment in
C. veleronis
. The mucro of the paleate chaetae in
C. fauveli
is short while it’s missing in
C. magna
and
C. picta
, and minute, hair-like in
C. aurantiaca
. Among species of
Chone
included in this revision,
C. fauveli
is unique by having a rounded ventral shield of collar (
Table 2
).

Observations on
C. suspecta
holotype
. Specimen with histolysis, no branchial crown is preserved. Body length
11 mm
, width
1.5 mm
. Thoracic uncini with four rows of teeth above the main fang (
Fig. 7
A); paleate chaetae with medium-sized mucro (
Fig. 7
B); narrowly hooded bayonet chaeta (
Fig. 7
D); anterior abdominal uncini with squared breast (
Figs 7
E–G). Abdominal segments: 42. Spermatozoa with barrel-shaped nucleus; triangular, small acrosome and two small rounded mitochondria (
Fig. 7
C).
Remarks.
Kr ø yer (1956) described
Chone suspecta
on the basis of a single specimen with damaged radioles.
Malmgren (1866: 404)
referred
C. suspecta
to
C. infundibuliformis
.
Cochrane (2000)
stated that the etymology suggested his uncertainty as to whether the specimen was representative of a discrete taxon or a juvenile form of
C. infundibuliformis
. This study confirms that
C. infundibuliformis
Kr
ø yer, 1856 is a synonym of
C. suspecta
Kr
ø yer, 1856. The name
infundibuliformis
has priority over
suspecta
and has been in frequent use since its inception and is the name used by most museum curators (Art. 23.1, International Code of
Zoological Nomenclature, 2000
).
