Linopherus sp. 1 Fig. 5A, B

Diagnosis.

Prostomium divided into two. Posterior portion pentagonal with medial antennae on posterior edge, flanked laterally by the first chaetiger. Anterior section round with antennae and palps reduced to small bumps anterolaterally and laterally respectively. Body small, slightly wider anteriorly and tapering posteriorly. Eyes absent. First chaetiger reduced, not continuous dorsally. Papilliform notopodial postchaetal lobe present throughout. Bipinnate branchiae present on chaetigers 3-5.

Remarks.

Linopherus sp. 1 differs from a second species of Linopherus known from the GAB (MacIntosh et al. 2018: additional file 2) in having branchiae first present on chaetiger 3 rather than chaetiger 4 in GAB specimens.
