Material examined
. Station 36 (36) (LBUV).
Distribution
.
Australia
. First report to
Chile
(Puerto Engaño in Ballenero channel. Magellan Strait to the south).
Habitat
. Shallow bottoms: algae, sand. Seagrass, dead corals, mud, etc.; intertidal to
33 m
(
San Martín, 2005
). Inside tubes of
Chaetopterus
cf.
variopedatus
in fjords and channels of Patagonia. Salinity: 35 PSU, temperature: 8.7°C.
Remarks
. The examined specimens perfectly agree with the description of this species of
San Martín (2005)
. The description of
Ehlers (1897)
of
E. heterosetosa
clearly is not the same species, but instead,
E. heterosetoides
. Both species,
E. heterosetosa
McIntosh, 1885
and
E. heterosetoides
are similar, characterized by having spinigerlike compound chaetae distally enlarged, spatulated, and blades short, filiform; however, the median antenna is longer, the antennae are originated on middle of prostomium, the shafts of spiniger-like chaetae are less enlarged, and the proventricle is longer in
E. heterosetosa
(see
San Martín, 2005
). This constitutes the first report of
E. heterosetoides
to
Chile
, although it was previously reported as
E. heterosetosa
. Probably both species are present in
Chile
.
