Description
Holotype
dried out, complete but torn in thorax and abdomen. Branchial crown as long as half of the body length. Insertion of the branchial lobes exposed beyond collar, anterior peristomial ring lobe triangular, exposed beyond collar. Ventral margin of collar higher than dorsal. Dorsal margins forming two deep pockets. Radioles with broad flanges, radiolar tips short. Ventral shield of collar swollen. Thoracic uncini distributed as irregular double rows in tori, four rows of teeth above the main fang, hood present (
Figure 18I
). Bayonet chaetae (
Figure 18H
). Anterior abdominal uncini with four to five rows of teeth above the main fang, occupying half the length of main fang, main fang not extending beyond breast, breast rectangular (
Figure 18J, K
), posterior abdominal uncini similar to the anterior ones, but smaller (
Figure 18L, M
). Pygidium rounded (
Figure 18N
).

Remarks
Holotype
is dried out, no additional material is available, and there are no new records of this species since its description in 1920. From the
holotype
, only a few characters were recognized, two of them also being present in
C. infundibuliformis
.
Chone ungavana
and
C. infundibuliformis
have short radiolar tips, broad flanges and thoracic uncini distributed in two irregular rows in each torus. However, in
C. ungavana
the anterior peristomial ring lobe is exposed beyond the collar (not exposed in
C. infundibuliformis
), and branchial lobes exposed beyond the collar (not exposed in
C. infundibuliformis
). At this time it is not possible to recognize the validity of
C. ungavana
due to the dehydration of the only available material.
