Association The unusual bryozoan, Hypophorella expansa Ehlers, 1876, creates colonies in the tube walls of Chaetopterus tubes. It is known from the Mediterranean and from the North Sea & Channel. [details]Biology Plate 2 of Abbè Dicquemarre's short note, published 1778, has perhaps the oldest known figure of a Chaetopterus, collected from Le Havre. The worm is labelled as "le boudin de mer" and no Latin names are used. The plate was found and shown to WoRMS editors by Jenna Moore, U of Florida, Chaetopteridae expert. [details]
Diagnosis Chaetopterus Cuvier, 1830: Diagnosis [Modified after Britayev & Martin (2019), Moore et al 2017]
Chaetopteridae with short peristomial palps, and 3 distinct body regions. Prostomium usually indistinct. Tagma A lacking separate notopodial cirri on A1, with 9 A chaetigers (or up to 15 chaetigers), with lanceolate notochaetae, with neuropodial uncini on last chaetiger, with multiple straight knobbed spines (cutting chaetae) on chaetiger 4. Tagma B with 5 B chaetigers, notopodia achaetigerous, B1 with aliform notopodia, B2 with cupule, with 3 chaetigers modified as vertical flat discs (tube pistons), with neuropodia with unicini. Tagma C with numerous segments with pointed achaetigerous notopodia, with bilobed neuropodia with pectinate uncini. Tube with 2 openings to the surface, not branched, inner tube walls of parchment-like layered secretions, debris covered externally.
