These larvae have long parapodia, usually angled toward the posterior
of the body. The head is blunt and conical, with a dark pigmented
collar around it, and there are four small antennae form a cross at the
tip of the prostomium, though these are not always visible. Small jaws
can usually be seen through the body wall. We have found glycerid
polychaetes (Glycera sp.) on settlement blocks around the periphery of the 9°N vents. These larvae may be that species or possibly another non-vent species.
