Prionospio heterobranchia Moore, 1907 View in CoL
Prionospio heterobranchia Moore, 1907: 195 View in CoL —197, plate 15, figs 1–6.— Amoureux, 1985: 102. Prionospio (Minuspio) heterobranchia View in CoL .— Maciolek, 1985: 341 –343, fig. 5.— Gobin, 1990: 43.
Type locality. Woods Hole, Massachusetts, USA, on soft sediment.
Type material. Holotype ( ANSP 850).
Records. USA: off Pierce Inlet, Florida ( Maciolek 1985). Guadaloupe ( Gillet 1987, Amoureux 1985). Trinidad and Tobago: Oropuche ( Gobin 1990).
Remarks. This species is easily distinguished by having five pairs of branchiae, three of which have digitiform pinnules, and by the extremely large posterior pair of prostomial eyes. Foster (1971a) proposed the synonymy of Prionospio heterobranchia texana Hartman, 1951 , and P. h. newportensis Reish, 1959, with P. heterobranchia , and this was followed by Maciolek (1985). The record of P. heterobranchia in the Grand Caribbean is questionable, requiring comparison with the type material.
