Depth range 25-68 m. [details]
Distribution Southeast Pacific Ocean, Northern and Central Chile. [details]
Etymology The species is named after Dr. Nicolás Rozbaczylo, Facultad de Ciencias Biológicas, Pontifica Universidad Católica de Chile, "because of his important work and publications on Chilean polychaetes, and for helping to make this material available" (Salazar-Vallejo & Harris, 2006: 151). [details]
Habitat Fine sandy-type sediments (2.64 < Ø > 3.14), with low values of mud-clay (0.33 and 4.73%) and total organic matter values in the sediments of 1.71 and 2.15% (Rozbaczylo & Quiroga, 2000: 647). Salazar-Vallejo & Harris (2006: 152) state that the species occurs among mussels, but this seems to be an error induced by the type locality being 'Mejillones', the Spanish word for 'mussels'. The habitat of the species given here is the one described by Rozbaczylo & Quiroga (2000), and refers to the collected specimens which would be later designated as holotype and paratype by Salazar-Vallejo & Harris (2006). [details]
Type locality Southeast Pacific Ocean, Chile, Bahía de Mejillones, Antofagasta (23º04'21''S, 70º25'42''W), 46 m, fine sandy-type sediments with low values of mud-clay. [details]
