From editor or global species database
Depth range 48-60 m. [details]Diagnosis Original diagnosis by Day (1963: 438): ''A single gill with a stalk and a terminal pom-pom of short filaments. First row of uncini without basal shafts.'' [details] Distribution South Africa: False Bay (Atlantic Ocean). [details] Editor's comment The records of the species in the European waters seem quite doubtful. Probably they are the result of the use of the monograph ''Polychaeta of Southern Africa'' by Day (1967) to identify European specimens of Pista with some of the branchiae missing. [details] Etymology Not stated. The specific epithet unibranchia is composed by the Latin numeral uni, inflected form of unus and meaning 'one', and by the Latin noun of Greek origin branchia, meaning 'gill', and refers to the presence of a single branchia on the species: ''A single median gill is present on setiger 2'' (Day, 1963: 438). [details] Habitat Sand and shells, at shelf depths. [details] Type locality False Bay, west coast of Western Cape Province, South Africa, Atlantic Ocean (34°12.5'S, 18°37'E), 48 m, khaki sand and shells. [details] |
