Description Not Available
The family Pilargidae consists of the following seven genera : Ancistrosyllis Mc
Intosh, Cabira Webster, Loandalia Monro, Otopsis Ditlevsen, Pilargis St. Joseph,
Talehsapia Fauvel and Ancistargis Jones. However, Hartman (1947) has suggested
that the genus Cabira, which is represented by only one species, might best be dropped
from literature. Kitamori (I960) has described Pilargis matsunagaensis (=
Ancistargis matsunagaensis), a new species from Matsunaga Bay, Hiroshima Prefecture,
which combines the characters of both the genera Ancistrosyllis and Pilargis.
It has a pair of antennae in the prostomium and the epitheUal papillae are scattered
over most of the body. In addition, it has an acicular hook in notopodia, a character
typical of the genus Ancistrosyllis. As pointed out by Jones (1961) P. matsunagaensis
should belong to the genus Ancistargis. At present this genus is represented
by two species, papillosus and matsunagaen.
