FIGURE 3. Sphaerodoropsis aurantica n. sp., AM W.44218 (A), AM W.44209 (B). A. Live specimen, micrograph taken with a dissecting microscope, dorsal view; B–L. SEM images. B. Whole specimen, ventral view, anterior end on top; C. Anterior end, frontal view, with median antenna (ma), lateral antennae (la), palps (pa), tentacular cirri (tc) and parapodia from first chaetiger (ch1); D. Mid-chaetigers in lateral view, showing large macrotubercles and dorsal papillae, ventral papillae, and parapodia with acicular lobe (al), ventral cirri (vc) and compound chaetae; E. Parapodia of chaetiger 6 and 7, ventral view (lacking copulatory organs), ventral view; F. Posterior end, ventral view, showing pygidial papillae and mid-ventral cirrus; G. Detail of dorsal macrotubercle with pores (arrows); H. Posterior macrotubercles with incipient terminal papillae (black arrow); I. Different size ventral papillae of mid-chaetigers; J. Mid-body parapodium, anterior view showing acicular lobe (al), ventral cirrus (vc) (behind chaetae) and parapodial papillae; K. Detail of compound chaetae of posterior chaetigers with long blades and thin shafts; L. Mid-chaetiger chaetal fascicle. Some of the chaetae have distal spine over blades (arrowheads).
