websteri and related species. Most species in this group have
branchiae from setiger 3; they are present from setiger 4 in E.
antUlensis. Eunice antUlensis is listed with similar species in
Tables 19 and 20. It is the only species in Table 20 with
branchiae shorter than the notopodial cirri; and is one of four
species in this table with fewer than 10 branchial filaments; the
other three being E. articulata, E. biannulata, and E. kobiensis.
These three species have articulated notopodial cirri limited to
the anterior end; E. antUlensis has the notopodial cirri
articulated throughout the body.
