Abstract
[Abstract] Ampharete oculicirrata sp. nov. (Annelida: Ampharetidae) is described from samples collected
by the Joint Nature Conservation Committee and Marine Scotland Science, in the West Shetland Shelf
NCMPA in the NE Atlantic. This species is characterised by a very small body size, thin and slender
paleae, twelve thoracic and eleven abdominal uncinigers, presence of eyes both in the prostomium and
the pygidium, the latter provided with a pair of long lateral cirri. The external micro-morphology of the
new taxon was studied using scanning electron microscopy and compared with species described or
reported from the North Atlantic. Two complementary keys to all species of Ampharete in the area are
also provided.
