FIGURE 6.
Glycera tesselata
Grube, 1863
, AM W.47218. A. Anterior end with everted proboscis, dorsal view; B. Proboscidial papillae; C. Aileron; D–K. Anterior to posterior parapodia, posterior view, aciculae suggested, chaetae omitted.
Diagnosis.
Proboscidial papillae mainly digitiform with straight, median, longitudinal ridge; ailerons with deeply incised bases; parapodia of mid-body with slightly longer neuropodial than notopodial prechaetal lobes and two short postchaetal lobes; branchiae absent.
Description.
Body up to
20 mm
long with up to 76 chaetigers. Mid-body segments bi-annulate.
Conical prostomium consisting of about 8–9 rings; terminal ring with four appendages and basal one with pair of nuchal organs (
Fig. 6
A).
Proboscis with two
types
of papillae: l. numerous digitiform papillae with straight, median, longitudinal ridge on posterior surface and sometimes additional V-shaped ridge near tip; 2. isolated, slightly shorter and broader, conical papillae without distinct ridges (
Figs 6
B, 10E). Terminal part of proboscis with four hook-shaped jaws arranged in a cross and accessory ailerons with deeply incised base (
Fig. 6
A, C).
First two pairs of parapodia uniramous; following parapodia biramous (
Fig. 6
D–K). Two slender triangular to digitiform prechaetal lobes; neuropodial lobe usually slightly longer and wider than notopodial lobe; both lobes becoming slightly thinner in posterior parapodia; in last parapodia notopodial lobe distinctly shorter than neuropodial one. Two shorter, rounded postchaetal lobes. Dorsal cirri from 3rd parapodium, conical to oval; inserted - most clearly in anterior part of body - on body wall far above parapodial base. Ventral cirri slender triangular to digitiform, about as long as postchaetal lobes; in posterior parapodia slender and elongated; in last parapodia about as long as neuropodial prechaetal lobe; situated medio-ventrally on parapodia. Branchiae absent.
Noto- and neuropodia each with a single acicula (
Fig. 6
D–K). Notochaetae capillaries. Neurochaetae compound spinigers with blades of different lengths.
Pygidium with dorsal anus and terminal pair of slender, elongated cirri.
