Description. A small species, specimen from USNS Eltanin Sta. 1089 (USNM 1013943) 6 mm long and 5.2 mm wide for 48 setigerous segments; types smaller, up to 4.2 mm long for 30 segments. Body distinctly fusiform in shape in types ( Fig 36A View FIGURE 36 ) and some non-types; juveniles more elongate, thick, tapering posteriorly, thickened in middle, but not distinctly fusiform. Individual segments biannulate ( Fig. 36B View FIGURE 36 ). Shallow mid-dorsal groove apparent in some specimens ( Fig. 36A View FIGURE 36 ). Color tan, with no additional pigmentation.

Prostomium broadly rounded on anterior margin, subtriangular in shape, wider than long ( Fig. 36 View FIGURE 36 A–B). Peristomium well developed, dorsally overlapping first segment somewhat, with deep lateral grooves forming

three weakly developed annular rings, well developed laterally ( Fig. 36B View FIGURE 36 ); dorsum of peristomium relatively smooth, without dorsal crest ( Fig. 36A View FIGURE 36 ). Dorsal tentacles medial in location, arising from groove between peristomium and setiger 1 ( Fig. 36 View FIGURE 36 A–B) or anterior margin of first setiger; tentacles thick, short in preservation. First pair of branchiae arising lateral to dorsal tentacles in same groove between peristomium and setiger 1 ( Fig. 36 View FIGURE 36 A–B); subsequent branchiae arising dorsal to setal fascicles ( Fig. 36B View FIGURE 36 ), continuing through first half of body.

Capillary setae in noto- and neuropodia throughout; acicular spines in notopodia from middle and posterior setigers and in neuropodia from setiger 1–5. Acicular spines short, straight ( Fig. 36 View FIGURE 36 D–E); capillaries sometimes with finely serrated or fringed border ( Fig. 36E View FIGURE 36 , inset).

Pygidium terminating a conical lobe ventral to anal opening ( Fig. 36A View FIGURE 36 ).

Methyl Green stain. The prostomium stains lightly; the peristomium stains heavily, especially on the sides; the body segments are generally unstained.

Remarks. Chaetocirratulus pinguis is similar to C. andersenensis in that most specimens have a robust, fusiform body. The two species differ in that the first has acicular spines present in the neuropodia from anterior setigers 1–5 instead of a far posterior setiger. Chaetocirratulus andersenensis has acicular spines limited to a few posterior neuropodia, rarely in notopodia; whereas in A. pinguis , acicular spines are present in both noto- and neuropodia throughout. In addition, the three peristomial rings are typically prominent and well-defined in C. andersenensis , but only weakly developed in C. pinguis , giving the pre-setigerous region a smooth appearance.

Habitat. Chaetocirratulus pinguis was noticeably abundant in the vicinity of the former Larsen Ice Shelf A where the surficial sediments (0–5 cm) consist of 0–40% sand likely derived from the formerly overlying ice cover ( Gilbert & Domack 2003).

Distribution. Weddell Sea and Antarctic Peninsula in shelf and upper slope depths, 317–865 m; East Antarctica, 203 m.
