A new species of syllid polychaete, Typosyllis papillosus, is described from oil platforms in the Campeche Sound, southwestern Gulf of Mexico. The species is distinguished from other Typosyllis species by the following features: unique composite heterogomph falcigers bearing blades with bidentate tips with distal tooth larger than subdistal and rounded and proximal part of proboscis subdivided into ten regions, each of which with ten longitudinal rows of five or six rounded to triangular papillae. The species is closely related to T. typica (Moore, 1909) due to the presence of similar chaetae in both; nevertheless, no superior composite heterogomph falcigers with long blades and coarse basal serrations are present in the latter, and T. typica lacks the ten groups of rounded papillae distributed along the pharyngeal basal area in T. papillosus.
