Trypanosyllis sp. 2 (Fig. 8) Material examined. AM W.41641, Queensland, Lizard Island, MacGillivray Reef, 14°38'53"S, 145°29'12"E, coarse coral rubble, 14 m, 31 Aug 2010, CReefs. Remarks. Specimen with several thin red transverse lines per segment; papillae and tufts of cilia on dorsum and on parapodia (Figs 8 A–C, F). This specimen is similar to Trypanosyllis zebra (Grube, 1860) from Australia, described by San Martín & Hutchings (2006), with dorsal papillae, though these authors did not mention dorsal tufts of cilia. Dorsal chaetae are similar in both species (Fig. 8 E); however, most ventral chaetae in Trypanosyllis sp. are weakly bidentate (Fig. 8 G), or completely unidentate (Fig. 8 H), while in T. zebra all chaetae are bidentate. In addition, T. zebra is widely distributed and probably represents a complex of sibling species. Habitat. Coral rubble at 14 m depth. Distribution. Australia (Queensland).
