Palpiphitime lobifera
(
Oug, 1978
)
(
Fig. 4
)
Material examined: Northern North Atlantic, coastal Skagerrak,
58° 53.1’ N
;
11° 06.4’ E
. Specimens recovered from minke whale bones in experimental aquarium tanks.
Remarks: The most abundant dorvilleid on the whale bones is
Palpiphitime lobifera
. We here include a live photo of the species (
Fig. 4
) to show the presence of eyes, which were not reported in the original description (
Oug 1978
). The eyes are easily visible on live animals, but may be difficult to see in preserved specimens.
