Type species

Cirrinerilla sulcipalpata gen. et sp. nov.

Diagnosis

Cirrinerilla gen. nov. is morphologically diagnosed by the following unique combination of characters: body cigar-shaped with eight segments. Prostomium with three, long and straight antennae and two long, cylindrical palps. Trunk segments with very long parapodial cirri. Compound chaetae in all segments. Hermaphroditic, with one pair of spermioducts opening in segment VII and one pair of oviducts in segment VIII.

Etymology

The genus name relates to the presence of long parapodial ‘cirri’ and ‘nerilla’ refers to the type genus of Nerillidae . The Japanese name for this new genus is given here as ‘Iejima-usamimi-gokai-zoku’ (meaning ‘Ie Island-rabbit ear-bristle worm’ in English).
