Description Complete description as follows: "A third form, Ammotrypane (Ophelina) kükenthali, sp. n., was dredged in the 'Porcupine ' Expedition of 1870, in 795 fathoms. It is distinguished by its pointed snout, with its slender clavate papilla projecting beyond it, and its slender elongated body, like that of Polygordius, about 25 mm in length, tapered a little anteriorly and posteriorly, rounded dorsally, and grooved ventrally. The ventral longitudinal muscles run on each side from the region of the mouth to the base of the caudal process, and have the usual lateral groove above them, but, so far as observed, neither bristles nor pigment-specks are present. Posteriorly the body somewhat abruptly narrows to the short, cylindrical, caudal process, which has a smooth edge posteriorly - in one example oblique and in the other rounded ; but as both seem to have been more or less dried, there is uncertainty on this point. The slender, smooth, glistening body, and the absence of bristles as well as of cirri and papillae on the caudal process are features of moment [details] Etymology "After Prof. Kükenthal, of Breslau, the author of a paper on the Opheliaceae of the 'Vettore Pisani' Expedition."
