Diagnosis
.
Chloeia
with bipinnate branchiae from chaetiger 4, progressively smaller posteriorly; median antenna half as long as caruncle; anterior eyes slightly larger than posterior ones; middorsal band and parallel bands welldefined; notochaetae acicular and harpoon-shaped; neurochaetae furcates and acicular.
Remarks
.
Chloeia pseudeuglochis
Augener, 1922
has been recently redescribed with specimens from the Eastern Pacific. It belongs in the group viridis by having a complex pigmentation pattern, and bippinate branchiae from chaetiger 4, progressively smaller posteriorly. Further, because its middorsal bands are heterogeneous with additional parallel bands,
C. pseudeuglochis
resembles
C. meziane
sp. n.
described above from Western Africa. As indicated above, these species differ in three features: the relative size of eyes, the rate of median antenna to caruncle, and the
type
of neurochaetae. Thus, in
C. pseudeuglochis
the anterior eyes are slightly larger than posterior ones, its median antenna is half as long as caruncle, and its neurochaetae are acicular or furcates, whereas
C. mezianei
has anterior eyes 2–3× larger than posterior ones, median antenna as long as caruncle, or slightly shorter than it, and neurochaetae are acicular or spurred.
