Zatsepinia Jirkov, 1986

Type species: Zatsepinia rittichae Jirkov, 1986

Generic diagnosis (emended). Prostomium simple, without glandular ridges. Buccal tentacles smooth. Two or three pairs of cirriform branchiae. Notochaetae in segments II and III absent. Ten thoracic uncinigers. Notopodial cirri absent. Second-to-last thoracic unciniger with elevated notopodia, connected by mid-dorsal ridge. Four intermediate segments. Abdominal rudimentary notopodia absent.

Remarks. The generic diagnosis has been emended to account for the presence of 3 pairs of branchiae, found in Zatsepinia jirkovi sp. nov., and the number of intermediate uncinigers.
