Palpiphitime lobifera ( Oug, 1978) View in CoL ( Fig. 4 View FIGURE 4 )
Material examined: Northern North Atlantic, coastal Skagerrak, 58° 53.1’ N; 11° 06.4’ E. Specimens recovered from minke whale bones in experimental aquarium tanks.
Remarks: The most abundant dorvilleid on the whale bones is Palpiphitime lobifera . We here include a live photo of the species ( Fig. 4 View FIGURE 4 ) to show the presence of eyes, which were not reported in the original description ( Oug 1978). The eyes are easily visible on live animals, but may be difficult to see in preserved specimens.
