Remarks:
Ewing (1982)
designated the genus
Paraleiocapitella
as a junior synonym of
Notomastus
, therefore,
P. mossambicus
was relocated in
Notomastus
. We consider that this species was described with an immature organism, since it presents the eleventh chaetiger with hooded hooks on the neuropodia. It is also corroborated by
Çinar (2005)
, who reported
N. mossambicus
from
northern Cyprus
with 11 chaetigers armed with capillaries on both, notopodia and neuropodia.
