Anamobaea oerstedii Krøyer, 1856 ; San Martin et al., 1994; Humann, 1992; Tovar-Hernández and Salazar-Vallejo, 2006.

Material examined. Two specimens inside dead stony corals at 3 m N-W Wee Wee Cay (sample CBC-KF 1015).

Remarks. This genus, characterized by unusual abdominal chaetae ( Fig. 1A View FIGURE 1. A ), also present in the closely related genera Notaulax and Hypsicomus , is represented in the area by two species. The more common is A. oerstedii reported for Mexican Caribbean, British Virgin Islands, Jamaica, Antilles, and Puerto Rico, typically inhabiting rocky bottom. This species reaches a large size (13 cm length). A good description of A. oerstedii is available in Tovar-Hernández and Salazar-Vallejo (2006), who also described A. phyllisae from British Virgin Islands, found on sandy substrates.
