Prostomium with conical middle lobe delimited by incision, without glandular ridges or eyes (Fig. 4 A, B). Buccal tentacles with ventral groove, smooth. Three pairs of cirriform branchiae in fused segment II + III (Fig. 4 C), arranged in transverse row; groups of branchiae separated by wide median gap; segmental origin of outermost and median branchiae not determinable; branchiae of segment IV inserted in innermost position of transverse row (Fig. 16 A). Chaetae in fused segments II + III originating from segment II, longer and slightly thicker than following capillaries, pointing forwards (Fig. 4 B, C, D). Chaetae of segment III absent. Notopodia with limbate capillary notochaetae from segment IV, present in 14 segments. Notopodia in fifth-to-last thoracic unciniger elevated, connected by dorsal ridge (Fig. 4 E); notochaetae of modified notopodia with broad wings and hirsute tip (Fig. 4 F).

Larger specimens usually have a more pronounced dorsal ridge.</p><p>The only other species in the genus with 3 pairs of branchiae are Anobothrus laubieri (Desbruyères, 1978) and Anobothrus flabelligerulus sp. nov. Anobothrus dayi sp. nov. differs from these species by the conical shape of the prostomium and the wide gap between the groups of branchiae. Further differences include the chaetae of segment II (paleae), which are much thinner than those of A. flabelligerulus sp. nov., and the notochaetae of segment III, which are absent in A. dayi sp. nov. and A. flabelligerulus sp. nov. but present in A. laubieri .</p><p>Etymology. The species is named after John Hemsworth Day, in recognition of his extensive research on the taxonomy of ampharetid polychaetes.</p><p>Distribution.

Length 5 mm, width 0.5 mm. Prostomium with middle lobe delimited by incision, without glandular ridges or eyes. Visible tips of buccal tentacles without ventral groove, smooth. Three pairs of cirriform branchiae in fused segments II + III, arranged in transverse row without median gap (Fig. 6 A, B); branchial bases fused, leaving the segmental origin of branchiae indeterminable (Fig. 16 C). Chaetae of fused segments II+III originating from segment II, very long and thick golden paleae with mucronate tips (Fig. 6 C). Paleae numbering about 25 per fascicle, arranged in semi-circular fan with central dermal hump (Fig. 6 B). Chaetae of segment III absent. Notopodia with limbate capillary notochaetae from segment IV, present in 14 segments. Notopodia in fourth-to-last thoracic unciniger elevated, connected by dorsal ridge (Fig. 6 D); notochaetae of modified notopodia with hirsute tips (Fig. 6 E). Neuropodial tori with uncini from segment VI, present in 12 thoracic uncinigers. Cirri and papillae in thoracic parapodia absent. Circular glandular band present in thoracic unciniger 3. Last segment of continuous ventral shields indeterminable. Two intermediate uncinigers. Ten abdominal uncinigers. Rudimentary notopodia and glandular pads in intermediate and abdominal uncinigers absent. Pinnules without cirri or papillae. Pygidium crenulated, with paired short lateral anal cirri (Fig. 6 F). Nephridial papillae absent. Thoracic uncini with 8 teeth in two alternating rows above rostral tooth and basal prow (Fig. 6 G, H). Abdominal uncini with crest of numerous teeth above rostral tooth and basal prow.</p><p>Remarks. The number of paleae ranges from about 24 to 27 per fascicle.</p><p>The new species is similar to Anobothrus paleatus Hilbig, 2000, A. nataliae Jirkov, 2008, and A. wakatakamaruae Imajima, 2009 . All four species have elevated notopodia with hirsute notochaetae, connected by a dorsal ridge in thoracic unciniger 9 (fourth-to-last). Other Anobothrus species have this modification in thoracic unciniger 8 (fifth-to-last). The four species also share number, morphology and arrangement of the paleae. A. flabelligerulus differs from these species by the presence of 3, rather than 4 pairs of branchiae. The only other species with 3 pairs of branchiae, A. dayi sp. nov. and A. laubieri, have elevated notopodia in thoracic unciniger 8, and much less developed chaetae in segment II.</p><p>We have examined the holotype and three paratypes of A. nataliae and consider the species a junior synonym of A. paleatus . Jirkov (pers. comm.) shares our opinion. The examination revealed that A. nataliae has papillated, rather than smooth buccal tentacles. In addition to the circular band in thoracic unciniger 3, the development of a circular glandular band in thoracic unciniger 2 varies between absent, inconspicuous, and prominent. These two observations lead us to the conclusion that A. wakatakamaruae, which has been described with circular glandular bands in thoracic uncinigers 2 and 3 and papillose buccal tentacles, is also a junior synonym of A. paleatus .</p><p>No papillae have been observed in the buccal tentacles of A. flabelligerulus . However, only the tips were visible in the holotype and one paratype.</p><p>Etymology. The species name means “carrier of fans” and refers to the prominent paleae that are reminiscent of a pair of fans.</p><p>Distribution. Northwest Pacific from Otsuchi Bay to Tosa Bay along the coast of Honshu, off Oga Peninsula in the Sea of Japan, and off Tsushima Island in the Korea Strait, in 17– 825 m.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03C687A0FFF3FF8BFF35F9FFFC47A2A5	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Notochaetae of modified notopodia with hirsute tips. One or two intermediate segments. No abdominal rudimentary notopodia present. Uncini with numerous teeth in 3 or more rows.</p><p>Remarks. The diagnosis has been emended to account for the first Sosane species with elevated and modified notopodia in the second-to-last and fourth-to-last thoracic uncinigers, respectively. Furthermore, the position of the branchiae, and the number of intermediate segments are included.</p><p>The synonymies of the genera listed above, suggested by Jirkov (2001, 2011), are accepted. The characteristic Sosane -like modification of a posterior thoracic unciniger in these genera is considered synapomorphic.</p><p>Sosanopsis Hessle, 1917 differs from Sosane Malmgren, 1866 only by the absence of chaetae in segment II (“paleae”). This character is not considered valid for the distinction of genera (Jirkov 1994a, 2001, 2008, 2011; Reuscher et al. 2009; Parapar et al. 2012).</p><p>The monotypic genus Sosanella Hartman, 1965 was described with 13 thoracic uncinigers. Our examination of the holotype revealed that only 12 thoracic uncinigers are present. The species Sosanella apalea Hartman, 1965 is herein considered a junior synonym of Sosane wireni, Sosanella a junior synonym of Sosane .</p><p>The holo- and paratype of Melinnata americana Hartman, 1965 are incomplete, missing the modified segment. The species, and the monotypic genus Melinnata Hartman, 1965, are therefore indeterminable. The possible synonymy of the genus with Sosane is doubtful.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03C687A0FFF1FF8CFF35FAC9FD09A476	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Several paratype specimens, however, have a complete set of 4 pairs of branchiae. Numbers of thoracic chaetigers and uncinigers are 14 and 11, respectively, which is in contrast to the 13 thoracic chaetigers and 10 thoracic uncinigers given in the original description.</p><p>In our single specimen all branchiae are broken off. We were not able to determine the number of branchiae. All other characters, however, agree with those observed in S. cinctus .</p><p>Distribution. The species has only been recorded from its type locality Bermuda. Records (as Muggoides) with uncertain species affiliation exist from Cape Hatteras off the coast of North Carolina as Muggoides nr. cinctus (Hilbig 1994) and from the Southern Ocean as Muggoides cf. cinctus (Schüller &amp; Ebbe 2007) and Muggoides sp. 1 (Hilbig 2004; Brandt et al. 2007), respectively.

Three pairs of cirriform branchiae in transverse row in segment II (Fig. 11 B, C); branchial groups separated by narrow median gap; branchiae of segment II in 2nd outermost position of transverse row, branchiae of segment III in outermost position of transverse row, branchiae of segment IV in innermost position of transverse row (Fig. 17 B). Innermost and 2nd outermost branchiae distinctly ciliated and annulated, outermost branchiae indistinctly annulated. Chaetae in segment II absent. Notopodia with limbate capillary notochaetae (Fig. 11 D) from segment III, present in 15 segments. Notopodia in second-to-last thoracic unciniger elevated, basally inflated, apically conical, connected by dorsal ridge (Fig. 11 E, F); notochaetae of modified unciniger in fan-like arrangement on convex side of notopodia, with hirsute tips (Fig. 11 G, H). Neuropodial tori with uncini from segment VI, present in 12 thoracic uncinigers. Cirri and papillae in thoracic parapodia absent. Continuous ventral shields present to thoracic unciniger 8. 1 intermediate unciniger. Ten abdominal uncinigers. Rudimentary notopodia and glandular pads in intermediate and abdominal uncinigers absent. Pinnules without cirri or papillae. Pygidium with terminal anus and one pair of ventrolateral cirriform anal cirri. Thoracic and abdominal uncini with arc of 4 small teeth over arc of 3 large teeth above rostral tooth and basal prow (Fig. 11 I).</p><p>Remarks. The tips of buccal tentacles are visible in one paratype. Besides the usual, smooth tentacles, some median ones are covered by papillae. Papillated tentacles have never been described in any of the Sosane species. The specimens from Japan do not differ morphologically from the Gulf of Mexico specimens described by Uebelacker (1984) as Genus A, which have since been referred to as Genus A sensu Uebelacker or Sosane sp. Uebelacker.</p><p>The three smallest of the four examined specimens from the Gulf of Mexico have ventral tufts of cilia in their branchiae.</p><p>This is the first species with the typical Sosane modification in the second-to-last thoracic unciniger. The only other species of the genus with only 3 pairs of branchiae, Sosane bathyalis and S. wahrbergi, have 9 thoracic uncinigers and the modified notopodia in the last thoracic unciniger. All other species with 12 thoracic uncinigers have 4 pairs of branchiae, 2 intermediate uncinigers, and the modified notopodia in the third-to-last thoracic unciniger.</p><p>Etymology. The species is named after Joan Uebelacker, who was the first to find this species in the Gulf of Mexico but did not describe it according to the rules of the ICZN.</p><p>Distribution. Continental shelf of the northern Gulf of Mexico (Uebelacker 1984). Newly recorded from Sagami Bay and Kushimoto, Pacific coast of Honshu, and to the west off Cape Ashizuri, Pacific coast of southern Shikoku, in 44– 490 m.</p><p>The new record from Japan is the first record from the Pacific. The unusual distribution may indicate that Sosane uebelackerae sp. nov. is an introduced species in either the Gulf of Mexico or Japan. Cryptic speciation cannot be excluded.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03C687A0FFEBFF93FF35F953FECCA370	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply. See Agosti, D., Egloff, W., 2009.

There are two different species, Sosane wireni (Hessle, 1917) (described as Sosanopsis wireni) and Sosane wireni Caullery, 1944 . The synonymy of Sosane and Sosanopsis would leave S. wireni Caullery, 1944 as homonym of Hessle’s species. However, Caullery’s species description of S. wireni and S. fauveli Caullery, 1944 seem to be based on a misconception of the genus Sosane since both of Caullery’s species do not have the characteristically modified segment. We think that Caullery’s species may belong to Lysippe . A re-examination of Caullery’s material was not possible because collections were being moved between the natural history museums of Amsterdam and Leiden during the time of this study.</p><p>Distribution.

Prostomium without incisions or glandular ridges, with nuchal slits. Buccal tentacles smooth. 4 pairs of cirriform branchiae. Segment II with enlarged notochaetae (paleae). 14 thoracic uncinigers. Intermediate uncinigers absent. First abdominal unciniger with 4 dorsal foliose lobes with smooth margin, emerging from transverse dermal fold. Uncini with many teeth in several rows.</p><p>Remarks. Tanseimaruana gen. nov. shares the number of thoracic chaetigers, absence of intermediate uncinigers, number of branchiae, and presence of enlarged chaetae (paleae) in segment II with Amphicteis and a number of other genera.</p><p>However, because of a number of differences, we think that the description of Tanseimaruana gen. nov. for the two species Tanseimaruana vestis (Hartman, 1965) comb. nov., described as Amphicteis vestis, and T. boninensis sp. nov. is warranted. Tanseimaruana gen. nov. lacks prostomial glandular ridges, possesses 4 foliose lobes that emerge from a dermal fold in the first abdominal unciniger, and its uncini have several rows of teeth, rather than a single row.</p><p>Jugamphicteis Fauchald &amp; Hancock, 1981, another genus that is related to Amphicteis, also has a dorsal lobe structure in the first abdominal unciniger. The dorsal modification of Jugamphicteis is a very high “valve-like” (Fauchald &amp; Hancock 1981) dermal fold with papillated convex margin and a median notch. Despite the same location of the modification, we share the opinion of Fauchald &amp; Hancock (1981) and Holthe (2000), who discussed the status of Tanseimaruana vestis (as Amphicteis vestis), that the modification of Jugamphicteis is different. Therefore, they are not considered homologous. Furthermore, Jugamphicteis differs from Tanseimaruana gen. nov. by the presence of prostomial glandular ridges.</p><p>The modifications in Tanseimaruana vestis comb. nov., in the four species of Jugamphicteis, and in the monotypic genus Ymerana Holthe, 1986 b have been defined as modified notopodial structures by their describers. This terminology was reiterated by subsequent authors (Jirkov 2008, 2011; Reuscher et al. 2009; Parapar et al. 2011). However, a notopodial origin of the dermal fold or lobes seems unlikely. The lobes do not resemble notopodia. They rather seem to be dermal protrusions from a transverse dermal fold across the dorsum. The dermal folds with its accessory structures are likely to be apomorphic structures that might have evolved to help create a current through the mucus-sediment tube (see also Parapar et al. 2011). A notopodial origin seems also unlikely in the light of the phylogeny of the genus. Tanseimaruana gen. nov. and, even more so, Jugamphicteis seem to be genera that are related to Amphicteis . All three genera have 17 pairs of notopodia (paleae of segment II not included). If the modification of Tanseimaruana gen. nov. and Jugamphicteis was of notopodial origin, Amphicteis, the potential ancestral genus, would be expected to have an additional 18th pair of notopodia from which the lobes have been derived. Additionally, the neuropodia of the modified segment are not tori but pinnules, which is a strong indication that the modified segment belongs to the abdomen, rather than to the thorax.</p><p>Etymology. The genus is named after the Japanese research vessel R/V Tansei-Maru from which it was collected.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03C687A0FFEFFF95FF35FF4CFEBFA381	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Holotype: Zoological Museum of Moscow State University, Pol. 301, N Atlantic, off northern Norway, Stn. 11, 71°10’N, 17°00’E, Transect 105, 354– 357 m, R/V Tunets, Sigsbee Trawl, 21.07.1978, leg. &amp; det. Jirkov.</p><p>Description. Length 12–16 mm, width 0.8–1 mm. Prostomium simple, without glandular ridges or eyes (Fig. 15 A). Buccal tentacles broad, smooth, with deep ventral groove (Fig. 15 A, B, C). Segment II dorsally reduced or overgrown by segment III (Fig. 15 A, B). Two pairs of cirriform branchiae in a transverse line at anterior end of segment III (Fig. 15 A); branchial groups separated by small median gap (Fig. 15 A); branchiae of segment II in innermost position, branchiae of segment III in outermost position (Fig. 17 F). Chaetae in segments II and III absent. Notopodia with limbate capillary notochaetae from segment IV, present in 12 segments. Notopodia in second-to-last thoracic unciniger elevated, connected by dorsal ridge (Fig. 15 D, E); notochaetae of modified segment with broad wings and hirsute tips (Fig. 15 F, G). Neuropodial tori with uncini from segment VI, present in 10 thoracic uncinigers. Cirri and papillae in thoracic parapodia absent. Continuous ventral shields distinct to thoracic unciniger 8 or 9, faint to abdominal unciniger 1 or 2. Four intermediate uncinigers. 15 abdominal uncinigers. Rudimentary notopodia and glandular pads in intermediate and abdominal uncinigers absent. Pinnules with dorsal papilla (Fig. 15 H). Pygidium with terminal anus surrounded by ring of short papillae (Fig. 15 I). Thoracic uncini with 1 small and 1 large tooth in 1 median row over 2 lateral rows with 2 teeth each, above rostral tooth and basal prow (Fig. 15 J, K). Abdominal uncini with crest of numerous teeth above rostral tooth and basal prow.</p><p>Remarks. Three of the examined specimens collected in November 2007 are filled with eggs. The abdominal unciniger count of 15 is slightly higher than in the holotype (13). The tentacles, of which only the tips are visible in the holotype, seem to be smooth, in contrast to Jirkov’s description as “pinnate (?)”, and the uncini are in agreement with our specimens.</p><p>We consider the difference in the number of abdominal uncinigers an intraspecific variation.</p><p>Distribution. Barents Sea and Norwegian Sea (Jirkov 1986). Newly recorded along the Japanese Pacific coast from off Kushiro, Hokkaido, in the north, to Sagami Bay, central Honshu, in the south, and off the coast of Tokumoshima Island in the East China Sea, in 100–2055 m.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03C687A0FFE3FF9BFF35FF4CFC8CA43E	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
