Chloeia rosea?
:
Fauvel 1943: 7
(
non
Potts, 1909
).
Diagnosis
.
Chloeia
with bipinnate branchiae from chaetiger 4, colorless, progressively smaller posteriorly; anterior eyes 2× larger than posterior ones; caruncle with about 10 folds; notochaetae furcates, without harpoon chaetae; neurochaetae spurred.
Remarks
.
Chloeia pinnata
Moore, 1911
was described from Southern California, and it has been redescribed elsewhere (
Yáñez-Rivera & Salazar-Vallejo 2022
). It belongs in the group tumida by having bipinnate branchiae from chaetiger 4, progressively smaller posteriorly, and no pigmentation pattern. It resembles
C. keablei
sp. n.
, described above with specimens from The
Philippines
to
Australia
, because both species have a tapered caruncle, and colorless bipinnate branchiae. However, these two species can be separated by the relative size of eyes,
type
of harpoon notochaetae, and neurochaetae. In
C. pinnata
,
the anterior eyes are 2× larger than posterior ones, its harpoon notochaetae have spurs, and neurochaetae are spurred, whereas in
C. keablei
,
anterior eyes are 4× larger than posterior ones, harpoon notochaetae have no spurs or smooth tines, and its neurochaetae are all furcates with small minor tines.
