Description "Palola brasiliensis sp. nov. is closely related to P. viridis Gray in Stair 1847. The differences between them include the peristomial width (greater than peristomium in P. viridis); maxillae II (P. viridis has 3 teeth on left and 2 right); inflated bases of ventral cirri (from setiger 15 to setiger 160–200 on P. viridis); median acicula (up to 3 acicula per parapodium on P. viridis); and pygidium rounded lobes on P. viridis." Unfortunately the authors do not likewise summarize the differences in the matching characters in Palola brasiliensis.  [details]

Etymology Palola brasiliensis is named after Brazil, the country where the specimens were collected offshore of its coast
