Eulagisca corrientis is a scale worm known from the subantarctic Heard Island and Kerguelen Island and the Ross Sea in Antarctica, at depths of about 200–1000m.[2]
Description
[edit]Eulagisa corrientis has 38 segments and 15 pairs of elytra. The lateral antennae are inserted terminally on anterior margin of the prostomium. The elytra bear a marginal fringe of papillae and the notochaetae are distinctly thicker than the neurochaetae, with bidentate neurochaetae also present.[2]
