Remarks
.
Types
do not exist. Female stolon, length
10 mm
for?8+13+40 chaetigers. Tentacular cirri 2 pairs, achaetous knobs not described. Antennae and dorsal cirri red, tentacular cirri uncoloured, red intrasegmental (
Claparède 1864: fig. 4
) band across each segment; eggs blue. General body shape with a long posterior region, indicates that this is a stolon of
Proceraea
type
. It is possible that this is the female stolon of Langerhans'
P. madeirensis
. The colour in
P. madeirensis
is described as brown, but red and brown may sometimes be difficult to separate. In that case Claparède's name would have priority.
