Ventral view of whole animal; B. Dorsal view of whole animal; C. Ventral view of anterior end, anterior margin of chaetiger 2 with large papillae, characteristic of P. antipoda . Scale bars: A–C = 0.1 mm. Remarks. The material collected from Lizard Island was compared with material previously identified as P. antipoda and cited in Hutchings & Peart (2002) . The species is widely distributed in Australia and has been recorded south from Broome, Western Australia around southern Australia and along the east coast to Heron Island, Queensland. This study extends the known distribution of the species to northern Queensland. Habitat. The material from Lizard Island was collected from sandy to muddy bottoms at depths of 12– 21 m . This species was previously known from low water mark to 92 m , in sediments ranging from mud, silty sand to sand, but has also been reported from Posidonia spp. seagrass beds. Type locality.
