Complete individuals ranging from 9.0 to 22.7 mm in length, 0.5 to 1.1 mm in width at segment X and between 59 to 72 segments. Thoracic lengths vary between 3.1 and 7.8 mm. One gravid specimen was found (BAN.Pista.09). It was incomplete, but thoracic length was 5.1 mm and anterior width 0.7 mm. These measurements correspond to a small size species. Live specimens pinkish with translucent buccal tentacles; ventral shields divided in two parts, anterior part pinkish, posterior part blood red (Fig. 2A). Preserved specimens pinkish with ventral shields divided transversally in two parts. Crenulation of ventral collar of segment II is difficult to see under the binocular and not always visible under SEM. It probably depends on the contraction of the animal. All specimens, regardless of size, with a single pair of branchiae, one up to twice as long as the other (Fig. 2D). Eleven of the twenty observed specimens had the long branchiae on the right side. Number of anterior
