examined in this study showed cilia at the bases of the dorsal cirri or transverse ciliary bands on the segments, as observed in other species of the genus. However, using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), a set of pits was observed, which are usually the location where these cilia are projected. These pits were observed at the bases of the dorsal cirri, located almost above the parapodial glands and arranged transversely, more or less in line, on anterior segments and peristomium.
