also recorded this species from Scotland but then increased the number of chaetae to 4-8 per bundle. He agreed with
<normalizedToken originalValue="Southerns">Southern's</normalizedToken>
description of the pharyngeal glands but questioned the shape of the penial bulbs, which he found to be spherical and not unusually large, compared to the descriptions by
<normalizedToken originalValue="Claparède">Claparede</normalizedToken>
and Southern. In 1976,
<normalizedToken originalValue="Erséus">Erseus</normalizedToken>
described the species from Iceland, also with pharyngeal glands in
<normalizedToken originalValue="IVVII">IV-VII</normalizedToken>
, but with fewer chaetae per bundle and with anteseptales of the nephridia made up of a few coils as well as the funnels. Having studied our material, which is partly from Wales, we are confident that we have the same species as the one studied by Stephenson,
<normalizedToken originalValue="Erséus">Erseus</normalizedToken>
, and possibly Southern, but that this (new) species is different from the original

<taxonomicName lsidName="semifuscoides" pageId="39" pageNumber="54" rank="species" species="semifuscoides">semifuscoides</taxonomicName>
and, at the same time, established a new genus for it called

can be separated from
<taxonomicName lsidName="C. semifuscus" pageId="39" pageNumber="54" rank="species" species="semifuscus">C. semifuscus</taxonomicName>
by the size of the penial bulbs, where the former species have bulbs about the same size as the sperm funnels (about 150

<normalizedToken originalValue="Claparède">Claparede</normalizedToken>
is reminiscent of what we observed (Fig. 24
<normalizedToken originalValue="FG">F-G</normalizedToken>
), although our specimens seem to have the septa further back in relation to the funnel, making the funnel appear with a thin stalk, and with the efferent duct originating much further back on the postseptale. Unfortunately,
<normalizedToken originalValue="Claparède">Claparede</normalizedToken>
did not mention the number of chaetae, subneural glands, or pharyngeal glands for his species, which makes its placement into the new genus

a bit tentative. This, and the fact that we have no genetic information for
<taxonomicName lsidName="C. semifuscus" pageId="39" pageNumber="54" rank="species" species="semifuscus">C. semifuscus</taxonomicName>
, are the reasons why we designated the new taxon,

Our specimens of

<taxonomicName lsidName="M. semifusca" pageId="39" pageNumber="54" rank="species" species="semifusca">M. semifusca</taxonomicName>
, and they possess fewer chaetae, but we still believe that they belong to the same species. Stephenson remarks that (1) the nephridia can be found from V, (2) the anteseptale is made up of funnel only, and (3) the efferent duct extends backwards towards the pore, not forwards as illustrated by
<normalizedToken originalValue="Claparède">Claparede</normalizedToken>
for
<taxonomicName lsidName="C. semifuscus" pageId="39" pageNumber="54" rank="species" species="semifuscus">C. semifuscus</taxonomicName>
. We found nephridia from VI (possibly not finding any in V because they were obscured by the pharyngeal glands) and observed that the anteseptale consists of a funnel on a thin stalk. As this character was difficult to see and because there is no true nephridial tissue anterior to the septa this could still have been interpreted by Stephenson as a funnel only. We found that the efferent duct extended forward towards the pore which is more in agreement with
<normalizedToken originalValue="Claparèdes">Claparede's</normalizedToken>
illustration of
<taxonomicName lsidName="C. semifuscus" pageId="39" pageNumber="54" rank="species" species="semifuscus">C. semifuscus</taxonomicName>
than what Stephenson noted, but the interpretation of this character may differ as the animal extends or contracts. Finally, Stephenson stated that the efferent duct originates well in front of the middle of the postseptale, whereas we observed it originating behind the middle or even from
<pageBreakToken pageId="40" pageNumber="55" start="start">the</pageBreakToken>
posterior end. However, Stephenson also noted that this was not apparent in living specimens and only became clear from sections, which we have not studied.

Unfortunately, Southern did not mention the exact size of the bulbs or their size in relation to that of the sperm funnels, which makes us unable to confidently conclude that his species is the same as ours.
