Comprehensive Description

provided by Invertebrates of the Salish Sea
Members of Family Maldanidae has most body segments longer than wide plus the first several setigers are clearly demarcated from one another. In Axiothella rubrocincta the prostomium has a distinctive cephalic plate with a conspicuous rim. The species has no anteriorly directed dermal collars on the the segments. There are several to many uncini but not spiny setae on the neuropodia of the first 2-3 setigers, and setiger 1 has 5 or more neurosetae. There is a membranous collar on the anterior end of setiger 4, and no glandular rings on setigers 5 and following. There are 22 segments total. The anus is central in the pygidium, and is on a funnel. The pygidial cirri are all the same length. This individual had 12 segments besides the prostomium and pygidium.
