Transverse prostomium attached to dorsal surface of upper lip, usually covering segment 1 laterally and extending ventrally, terminating lateral to mouth; basal part of prostomium usually as thick crest; crest almost straight, horseshoe-shaped, curved to semicircular, or inverted V-shaped, probably strongly dependent on preservation. Distal part of prostomium low, of uniform length, restricted to base of upper lip, sometimes as flaring lobe, or extending along the lip and terminating near anterior margin.

, short ones uniformly cylindrical, long ones spatulated; modified stouter and longer tentacles with specialised tips may be present. Peristomium forming lips; upper lip large, frequently circular and convoluted, folded into three lobes; swollen lower lip, entire or divided into two parts, varying from button-like, restricted to oral area, to expanded as cushion-like structure, and sometimes occurring across entire ventrum. Segments throughout biannulated or with more annulations; segment 1 reduced, usually visible dorsally and ventrally, laterally covered by expanded prostomium. Segment 2 distinctly narrower than following segments, usually with rectangular or pentagonal midventral shield at beginning of mid-ventral groove, sometimes extending anteriorly through segment 1 until near posterior margin of lower lip. Body wall papillate throughout, papillae distinctly larger and more abundant on ventro-lateral pads of anterior segments, present usually from segment 2 to last with notopodia. Notopodia beginning from segment 3, extending for variable number of segments, terminating anteriorly in most taxa; bilobed, elongate notopodia, lobes about same size or post-chaetal lobe longer. Notochaetae winged, with wings of variable width, and/or pinnate. Neuropodia, beginning posteriorly to notopodia, frequently only after notopodia terminate; neurochaetae as avicular uncini of

. In the case of the species with broadly-winged notochaetae, sometimes the layers of chitin of the wings spread apart and these chaetae may assume a hirsute appearance under light microscopy. Under the SEM, however, the wings are always hirsute, independent of state of preservation, even in acicular chaetae, and the only variation observed is in the width of the wings.

suggested an intraspecific variation of 5 segments on the number of pairs of notopodia, and of 4 segments on the beginning of neuropodia, and that these two characters were independent of each other. We consider, however, these characters are linked, so that a variation in the number of pairs of notopodia implies in similar variation in the beginning of neuropodia. So, the relative distance between termination of notopodia and beginning of neuropodia is more important than segment numbers where these occur, considering some little variation in segment numbers may occur.

Several other characters of polycirrids are also directly related to the number of pairs of notopodia. Frequently, the paired ventro-lateral pads are present until the segment on which notopodia terminate, although they may be less conspicuous posteriorly. Furthermore, the body is usually swollen anteriorly and tapers abruptly on last segments with notopodia. Similarly, in most species, nephridial and genital papillae are present anterior to bases of all notopodia. An intraspecific variation on the number of pairs of notopodia also implies variation in the number of pairs of ventro-lateral pads and nephridial and genital papillae present. For that reason, in most taxa the termination of notopodia determines the transition between a thorax and an abdomen. Such demarcation is not clear in specimens of several taxa of Terebelliformia, and because of that
