Abstract

Nogueira et al. (2015) proposed the generic name Lizardia to accommodate L. quasimodo Nogueira, Hutchings & Carrerette, 2015, an abranchiate terebellid from Lizard Island with only 9 pairs of notopodia beginning from segment 4 and bearing both distally smooth and distally serrated notochaetae, and neuropodia beginning from segment 6.
