England. Its typical habitat is mud
251:(bristles). This part is narrower and shorter than the posterior part of the worm which has thirteen to fifteen segments. On the underside of the posterior part there are two hard brown
247:-shaped worm growing to a length of about 3.5 cm (1.4 in). The anterior region consists of seven segments, the second to fourth segments bearing lateral bundles of

plates forming a shield, the margins of which are rimmed with bundles of long chaetae. A number of long, semi-coiled, thread-like gills arise from the base of the shield.

This worm lives buried in the sediment with its head down and with its filamentary gills at the surface, presumably to enhance oxygen uptake. It is a
