“…For example, oral tentacles were not reported in the original description of the specimens (Buzhinskaya, 1977) and were not found by other researchers examining specimens from the same location (Salazar-Vallejo and Zhadan, 2007). The ''nephridia" between the segments are actually gonopores and are known from other flabelligerids and acrocirrids, typically referred to as segmental organs, and most easily seen as small papillae projecting into the gelatinous sheath (Heath, 1930;Robbins, 1965;Hobson and Banse, 1981) or between segments in the case of acrocirrids (Banse, 1969). additionally used the relative position of the first chaetiger, the relative size of the second chaetiger, and their pelagic habit to distinguish flotids from flabelligerids.…”
