Comparative material examined. NTM: W23808 (9), Banda, Maluku Province, Indonesia.

Diagnosis. Ceratonereis species with two brown bands dorsally across chaetigers 2 and 3 ( Fig. 1A View FIGURE 1. A ); dorsal cirri increasing in relative length greatly over first 20 chaetigers or so, to become about 2 x width of body (without parapodia) by mid-body; neuropodial postchaetal lobe rounded in anterior parapodia.

Remarks. In accordance with the species concept used in this study, and following Wilson et al. (2003), Ceratonereis singularis australis is elevated to species level. The specimens examined agree well with Hartmann- Schröder’s (1985) description of this subspecies, especially in the characteristic pigmentation pattern, paragnath count and parapodial morphology. The specimens are similar to C. tentaculata . Both species belong to the C. mirabilis group as recognised by Perkins (1980)), which has very long tentacular and dorsal cirri and Area III with fewer paragnaths (7) than Area IV, and the dorsal notopodial ligule similar in size to the ventral neuropodial ligule in the anterior parapodia.

Habitat. Lagoon, fore-reef and reef slope, 15– 20 m.

Type locality. Exmouth, Western Australia.

Distribution. Australia and eastern Indonesia. First record for Lizard Island.
