Examination of material from the Hidden Ocean 2005 expedition to the Canadian Basin aboard the USCGC (WAGB-20) Healy revealed a new species of polychaete, Sigambra healyae sp. n., of the family Pilargidae. A description of the new species is given. It differs from other closely related species by having a second acicula in the notopodia, the presence of only bidentate neuropodial setae, and the pigmentation of the prostomium.
