are among the most enigmatic and difficult to identify of all cirratulids because of the lack of obvious variability in setal morphology. However, there is considerable variation in body shape, details of the prostomium and peristomium, placement of the dorsal tentacles and anterior branchiae, presence or absence of dorsal and ventral grooves and ridges, form of the posterior end and pygidium, and Methyl Green staining patterns. Sometimes the capillaries do differ in thickness and length among species, but this is difficult to quantify and depict in a manner that enables readers of descriptions to distinguish one species from another. Additionally, the capillaries often exhibit numerous fibrils along the shaft, but these are best seen with SEM and difficult to observe in light microscopy. Despite the specific nature of different combinations of these characters, closely related species are usually difficult to distinguish from one another.

). However, it appears that this species is limited to subantarctic locations and the records from the high Antarctic belong to other species, mostly described herein. Due to errors in the original descriptions or misinterpretation of the published descriptions, each of the three species cited above have been misconstrued in the Antarctic ecological literature. As such, the published records of these species most certainly refer to other species described in the present study. These issues illustrate some of the problems with interpreting previous records of Antarctic bitentaculate cirratulids.

reported herein are new to science and have proven to be especially difficult to separate from one another despite the availability of large numbers of specimens. Most specimens are incomplete, have lost tentacles and branchiae, and the morphology of the anterior and posterior ends has proven to be highly variable largely due to different methods of collection, handling, and damage or contraction during preservation. Contraction of the peristomium compresses the region where the dorsal tentacles and first branchiae are located, making these structures sometimes difficult to locate and to correctly define as being on the peristomium or first setiger. Shirlastain A or SEM is needed to better highlight the scars or stumps of these structures and careful study of the specimens is time consuming. The shape and size of the posterior end is often diagnostic, but this part of the body is usually missing. The presence of separated posterior ends in the samples is helpful, however. Only three species,
