: number of chaetigers, number of anterior chaetigers with acicular chaetae, presence of bidentate anterior neurochaetae, enlarged and directed backward chaetae of the last chaetiger, and paired/unpaired genital papilla. Interestingly, one of 28 specimens studied here has 23 instead 22 thoracic chaetigers and another one has an unpaired genital papilla. As intraspecific variability was noted for all characters (present work,

), description of new as well as redescription of existing taxa should be based on examination of several specimens and the whole complex of characters.
