Size range
Female: length (15 mm), maximum width (2.0 mm). Male: length (16 mm), maximum width (2.0 mm).
Diagnosis
Nereis species lacking pigmentation (Fig. 5C). Paragnaths include cones and bars arranged as follows: Areas I: 0–1 cone; II: 15–20 cones; III: 19–26 cones; IV: about 45 in large crescentic patch includes cones and bars; V: 0; VI: 15–20 small patch of minute cones; VII–VIII: one narrow band of 50–60 cones with several additional rows at right angles. Male and female epitokes both with natatory region extending to pygidium, but differ in number of pre-natatory chaetigers and number modified dorsal and ventral cirri. Male has pre-natatory region comprising 22–23 chaetigers; basally swollen dorsal cirri on chaetigers 1 to 7; basally swollen ventral cirri on chaetigers 1 to 5 or 6. Female has pre-natatory region comprising 26 chaetigers; basally swollen dorsal cirri on chaetigers 1 to 5; basally swollen ventral cirri on chaetigers 1 to 4. Also male has pygidial rosette and scalloped dorsal cirri in natatory region (except near pygidium where dorsal cirri become smooth and tapered again), rosette and scalloped dorsal cirri lacking in female.
Remarks
This appears to be a new species, and will be described when further specimens, including atokous individuals become available. It was listed by Pamungkas (2015)[1] as Nereis sp.
