(Figs 1 A–D)</p><p>Material examined: Northern North Atlantic, coastal Skagerrak, 58° 53.1’ N; 11° 06.4’ E, female with eggs, 6 mm long, 29 chaetigers, preserved in formaldehyde from experimental tank with bone material sampled from a minke whale carcass, which was implanted at 125 m depth, holotype (SMNH T- 7816); same location, 2 specimens, preserved in formaldehyde, paratypes (NHM2009.25); same location, one specimen preserved in osmium for SEM, and several specimens preserved in ethanol for DNA extraction. Fishfarm in Mele, Hardangerfjord, 60°21.27’N; 6°20.89’E, 104 m depth, several specimens preserved in formalin.</p><p>Description: Body shape elongated, uniform width for majority of body length, tapering slightly at posterior end. Colour transparent, with white eggs visible in females. (Fig. 1 A).</p><p>Prostomium round and dorso-ventrally flattened, disc-like. Eyes lacking. Long cirriform paired antennae inserted dorsally, reaching to first chaetiger, equally long palps cirriform inserted lateroventrally on prostomium. Jaws of P-type, mandibles rod-like without any serration. Maxillae with seven pairs of free denticles (Fig. 1 B).</p><p>Two peristomial achaetous segments. Parapodia uniramous with long dorsal and ventral cirri and cirriform acicular lobe, supraacicular chaetae simple, subacicular chaetae compound with serrated blades (Figs 1 C–D). Subacicular chaetal lobe with simple chaeta.</p><p>Pygidium with terminal anus, two pygidial cirri as long as antennae and palps laterally and a short, nublike unpaired appendage ventrally.</p><p>Distribution: Known from a minke whale carcass at 125 m depth (58°53.1’N; 11°06.4’E) in the Koster area in Sweden, and from sediment sampled at 104 m depth beneath a fish farm in Hardangerfjord (60°21.27’N; 6°20.89’E) in Norway.</p><p>Reproduction: Eggs present in females from chaetiger 5 and in all segments to posterior end of body. No data available on the presence of sperm.</p><p>Ecology: Live observation in aquarium experiments show adult specimens crawling on filamentous bacterial mats on the whale bones, and bacterial pellets are present in the worms guts, indicative of a bacterial diet.</p><p>Etymology: Ophryotrocha scutellus is named after its flattened disc-like head, scutella is the latin word for flat dish or saucer.</p><p>Remarks: Ophryotrocha scutellus has a rounded dorso-ventrally flattened head-form, shaped like a disc. Another Ophryotrocha that is reported to have flattened prostomium is O. platykephale, from which O. scutellus differs in jaw morphology, form of parapodia and absence of branchiae.

(Figs 2 A–D)</p><p>Material examined: Northern North Atlantic, coastal Skagerrak, 58° 53.1’ N; 11° 06.4’ E, female with eggs, 7 mm long, preserved in formaldehyde, from experimental aquaria containing bones sampled from a Minke whale carcass, which was implanted at 125 m depth, holotype (SMNH T- 7817); same location, one specimen, not complete, preserved in formaldehyde, paratype (NHM2009.26), same location three specimens preserved in ethanol for DNA extraction. Fishfarm in Svåsand, Hardangerfjord, 84 and 150 m depth, ten specimens preserved in ethanol for DNA extraction.</p><p>Description: Colour pale red or transparent with red branchia-like structures on dorsal and ventral sides, the dorsal being very large and rounded in form, partly covering the dorsum (Fig. 2 A). Body shape elongated, tapering slightly at posterior end.</p><p>Prostomium with digitiform paired antennae inserted dorsally. Palps papilliform with palpophores, inserted laterally on prostomium. No eyes. Jaws of P-type, mandibles L-shaped with serration anteriorly. Maxillae with 7 free denticles (Fig. 2 B)</p><p>Two peristomial achaetous segments. Parapodia uniramous with dorsal and ventral cirri and cirriform acicular lobe, supraacicular chaetae simple, subacicular chaetae compound with serrated blades (Figs 2 C–D). Subacicular setal lobe with simple chaetae.</p><p>Pygidium with terminal anus and two pygidial cirri, unpaired appendage absent.</p><p>Distribution: Known from the minke whale carcass at 125 m depth (58°53.1’N; 11°06.4’E) in the Koster area in Sweden, and from sediment sampled at 84 and 150 m depth beneath a fish farm in Hardangerfjord in Norway.</p><p>Etymology: Ophryotrocha craigsmithi is named after Professor Craig R. Smith in recognition of his encompassing work with whale fall habitats.</p><p>Remarks: This species is similar to Palpiphitime lipovskyae, O. platykephale Blake, 1985, O. wubaolingi Miura, 1997 and P. lobifera in having branchial structures both dorsally and ventrally. It differs from O. platykephale in the form of prostomium and parapodia, from O. wubaolingi in the shape of the parapodia, and from P. l o b i f e r a in the form of the dorsal branchial structures, and in the absence of eyes. It seems to be most similar to the recently described P. lipovskyae from sediment beneath fish farms in western Canada. Palpiphitime lipovskyae is reported to have jaws of both P- and K-type. So far no specimens of O. craigsmithi have been found with K-type jaws, but it can not be ruled out that it does not possess them. Ophryotrocha craigsmithi differs from P. lipovskyae genetically, and in the presence of a prominent ventral chaetal lobe with a protruding simple chaeta in O. craigsmithi .

(Figs 3 A–F)</p><p>Material examined: Northern North Atlantic, coastal Skagerrak, 58° 53.1’ N; 11° 06.4’ E, female with eggs, 8 mm long, 32 chaetigers, preserved in formaldehyde from experimental tank with bone material sampled from a minke whale carcass, which was implanted at 125 m dept, holotype (SMNH T- 7818); same location, four specimens, two males and two females, preserved in formaldehyde, paratype (NHM2009.27); same location, seven specimens preserved in formaldehyde, two specimens preserved in osmium for SEM, and several specimens preserved in ethanol for DNA extraction.</p><p>Description: Colour transparent, females with eggs distinctly larger than males (Figs 3 A, B). Body shape elongated, of generally uniform width, tapering slightly at posterior end.</p><p>Prostomium with digitiform paired antennae inserted dorsally. Palps papilliform, inserted laterally on prostomium. No eyes. Mandibles rodlike, with anterior dentition. K-type maxillae with smooth forceps and 7 pairs of free denticles (Fig. 3 D). Maxillae of P-type with 7 free denticles (Fig. 3 E).</p><p>Two peristomial achaetous segments, parapodia uniramous with short dorsal and ventral cirri (Fig. 3 F), supraacicular simple chaetae with serration distally, subacicular chaetae compound, blades with serration (Fig. 3 C), subacicular chaetal lobe with simple chaeta.</p><p>Pygidium with terminal anus, two pygidial cirri laterally inserted and an unpaired appendage ventrally placed.</p><p>Distribution: Known from an aquarium containing bones taken from a minke whale carcass at 125 m depth (58°53.1’N; 11°06.4’E) in the Koster area in Sweden.</p><p>Reproduction: Egg masses form a tube in which the female crawl, the tube loosely attached and not covered by a hard surface like in O. labronica (Paxton &amp; Åkesson, 2007) . No data on the distribution of eggs or sperm among the segments of the worms.</p><p>Etymology: Ophryotrocha eutrophila is named after its habitat choice, seemingly liking organically enriched environments (eutrophic=organically enriched, philus=like).</p><p>Remarks: This species resembles O. puerilis in jaw morphology. Ophryotrocha eutrophila is dimorphic, with males commonly smaller than females and possess K-type maxillae, similar to O. puerilis . Ophryotrocha eutrophila is genetically different from O. puerilis and differs in the absence of eyes and the presence of a well developed median pygidial stylus. Ophryotrocha eutrophila is also similar to O. fabriae Paxton &amp; Morineaux, 2009 described from a hydrothermal vent on the Mid-Atlantic Ridge. It differs from O. fabriae in the form of the mandibles.

Both species have been described from anthropogenically enriched sediments such as pulp mill discharge. The discovery of dense populations of these two species actively feeding on mat-forming filamentous bacteria at whale falls suggest that they are important species for ecosystem function in terms of the degradation of high molecular weight organic compounds.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03C487F9FFB0FFF7A0881550FE09FAE1	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
