Editor's comment Species wrongly recorded in WoRMS with spelling as Eulalia longocirrata until 24 Apr 2021. [details]
Etymology Not explicitly stated by the author. The specific epithet longicirrata is composed by the Latin prefix longi- ('long'), and the Latin adjective cirrata ('having cirri'), and refers presumably to the length of the ventral cirri of the species: ''The ventral cirrus is long and filiform, reaching beyond the tip of the parapodium" (Støp-Bowitz, 1948: 16). [details]
Habitat Bathyal depths. [details]
Taxonomy From Hartman & Fauchald (1971: 46): "Eulalia longicirrata Støp-Bowitz (1948) from the northeast Atlantic Ocean, in 1100 m, may be congeneric [with Pirakia lanceolata Hartman & Fauchald, 1971], because it also has the first segment dorsally reduced. Its generic position is in doubt because the proboscis remains unknown. It is not a Eulalia, which is identified by having the first three segments as complete rings." [details]
Type locality North West Atlantic Ocean, off Newfoundland (42.9833°, -51.25°), 1100 m. [details]
