Genus Aphroditella Roule ¹).
Mc Intosh ²) in 1885 first described a minute Aphroditean-worm from the West-Indian abyss, the ventral bristles of which are "densely pilose almost to the terminal hook and provided with a spur as in Laetmatonice" (Aphrod. intermedia); two years thereafter Ehlers ³) among the Annelids of the Blake, from a depth of 1719 M., met with an Aphrodite, that possesses ventral bristles, provided on one side with a beard of hairs (Aphrod. obtecta). Finally Roule among the Annelids of the Travailleur and the Talisman found an Aphrodite from a depth of 1084 M., that also possesses ventral setae with a pinnate appearance; with the two preceding species he ranges this form in a new genus Aphroditella. Several species of this genus appear to be represented in the Malayan abyss.
