Classification Phyllodocida clade [details]Diagnosis The prostomium bears a single median antenna, a pair of lateral antennae and a pair of ventral palps. It appears to be fused to a reduced peristomium. The first three pairs of trunk appendages are modified as tentacular cirri, the third long and biramous. The remainder of the finely annulated trunk bears at least 21 pairs of similar biramous parapodia some of which preserve evidence of chaetae. The postsegmental pygidium is very small and may bear up to two pairs of cirri. [details] Etymology 'Arkona', the unit from which the fossil came, 'ips' Greek,a worm. [details] |
