Chloeia kudenovi Barroso & Paiva 2011

Chloeia kudenovi Barroso & Paiva, 2011 Chloeia kudenovi Barroso & Paiva, 2011: 420–422, Figs 1, 2, Tab. 1; Craveiro et al. 2019: 303–304, Figs 1, 2. Diagnosis. Chloeia with bipinnate branchiae from chaetiger 4, abruptly shorter in median and posterior chaetigers; dorsal cirri barely pigmented basally; harpoon notochaetae with smooth tines, or without spurs; neurochaetae spurred and furcates, major tines without denticles along inner margin. Remarks. Chloeia kudenovi Barroso & Paiva, 2011 was described from Brazil. Barroso et al. (2021) have recently emended the description of this species, and no other specimens were available; C. kudenovi belongs in the group kudenovi by having bipinnate branchiae from chaetiger 4, abruptly shortened after a few chaetigers. As indicated in the key above, C. kudenovi resembles C. pocicola Barroso & Kudenov in Barroso et al. (2021), also described from Brazil, but they differ in pigmentation of dorsal cirri and in the type of furcate neurochaetae. In C. kudenovi dorsal cirri are pigmented basally, and its furcate neurochaetae have smooth tines, whereas in C. pocicola dorsal cirri are pigmented along their basal half, and its furcate neurochaetae have denticles along the inner margin.
