Palps with transversal dark pigmented rings (dark-orange to greenishbrown) of different widths, without a clear alternating pattern, and a pair of longitudinal ciliated grooves (one dorsal and one ventral). Second pair of small antennae or palps absent. Eyes present between insertion of the palps and the peristomium. Dorsal ciliated faecal groove running from mouth to posterior end (anus), along the median body line.

Usually with four (up to seven) segments having biramous parapodia. Between 12 and 16 extremely long, thin, notochaetae, scarcely protruding from the tip of the notopodia; about 12 with flattenedto-lanceolate tips, and two or three with pointed tips. Neuropodia unilobed in segment B1, and bilobed in B2 and B3, with several hundreds of uncini irregularly disposed in two or three rows, roughly triangular, with seven (between six and ten) long curved teeth plus a few small ones (often difficult to distinguish) in the anterior and posterior ends of the serrated edge. All uncini of B1 similar in size; dorsal uncini of B2 and B3 smaller than ventral uncini.

). Any contact with the surrounding sediment induced the worm to retract inside the tube. A slow constant retraction occurred after a subtle contact. If the contact was not repeated, the worm stopped the reaction and re-acquired the typical position after a few minutes. Either repeated or violent contacts with the surrounding sediment caused a fast retraction inside the tube. However, after several minutes, the worm protruded again to adopt its usual position.

The worms were able to expel both introduced liquids and small particles (such as sand grains) from the interior of their tubes, by means of a powerful exhalation current. In normal conditions, with the worms completely inside the tube, there was a regular exhalation/inhalation water flow, probably generated by peristaltic movements of the segments in region C. This flow seemed similar to those described as a part of the feeding mode and ventilation system for other chaetopterid polychaetes, including

, the density decrease did not seem to be related to mortality, but to an adaptation to survive under the increasing instability of the sediment during the stormy autumnal period characteristic of a Mediterranean environment (

). In fact, the extraordinary length of the tube, as well as the ability to quickly retract inside, could represent an adaptation to such an unstable sedimentary regime. Together with the increase of instability of the water column (as expressed by the increase in wave height,

), the sediments tended to become more and more mobile, to the extent that the worms were not able to protrude above the surface, and survived by hiding inside the tube, at a depth where the sediment was stable. This could explain the autumnal decrease in density (

), as the divers could not count the worms that did not protrude from the sediment surface. Moreover, this could also explain the occasional presence of empty ramifications and the huge number of empty tubes found during the excavation collection. Accordingly, these were probably functional tubes, abandoned by the worms either during their normal growth or as a result of the aforementioned adaptive process. Once the storms ended, the worms built new tube sections to reach the surface, so that there would be as many empty tubes as stormy events during the lifetime of each worm.
