In the course of sampling the benthic fauna off Point Richmond, San Francisco Bay, Calif. (Jones, 1951), numerous specimens of a polychaete worm of the family Cirratulidae were found. At the outset they were tentatively identified as Cossura longocirrata Webster and Benedict, but subsequent examination revealed characters differing sufficiently from the original description to justify setting up a new spedes for these worms.
