A new species of polychaetous annelid (Arabellidae) parasitic in <i>Diopatra ornata</i> (Onuphidae) from southern California.
Bulletin of the Southern California Academy of Sciences
A new species of polychaetous annelid of the family Arabellidae is described. Various sizes were found parasitic in the coelomic cavity of a single specimen of the onuphid polychaete Diopatra ornata collected near Port Hueneme. Movement of the parasite may occur through the septal walls of the host but not laterally through the dorsal or ventral mesenteries.
