Highlights
-
A new species of amphinomid polychaete, Chloeia rozbaczyloi sp. nov. is described.
-
The new species inhabits poorly explored seamounts of the remote Nazca Ridge off Chile.
-
This finding constitutes the first report of the genus Chloeia for Chilean waters.
-
Genetic data for Chloeia rozbaczyloi sp. nov is provided.
-
The new species is reported for seamounts lying within the recently created Nazca Desventuradas Marine Park.
Abstract
The amphinomid polychaete Chloeia rozbaczyloi sp. nov., collected from seamounts of the Nazca Ridge (NR), northwest of Desventuradas islands, southeastern Pacific Ocean, is described. The new species was observed on only two of seven …

We report the complete mitochondrial genomes of two antipatharian species, Stichopathes sp. SCBUCN-8849 and Stichopathes sp. SCBUCN-8850, collected between 120 and 180 m depth off Rapa Nui (∼ −27.1°, −109.4°). The size of the two mitogenomes are 20,389 bp (29.0% A, 15.2% C, 19.9% G, and 35.9% T) and 20,463 bp (29.0% A, 15.3% C, 19.9% G, and 35.8% T), respectively. Both mitogenomes have the classic Hexacorallia gene content of 13 protein-coding, two rRNA, and two tRNA genes plus a COX1 intron with embedded HEG as found in the Antipathidae and other antipatharian families.
