Abstract

Scionella papillosa, a new species of terebellid polychaete from the southwest Florida continental shelf is described. It more closely resembles the only other Atlantic species, S. lornensis Pearson, 1969, than the Pacific species, S. japonica Moore, 1903, S. estevanica Berkeley & Berkeley, 1942, and S. vinogradovi (Ushakov), 1955, in lacking a ridge on segment 4, but it differs from all four in having densely packed small digitiform papillae on the ventrolateral surfaces of the second segment.
