| Acromegalomma interruptum | |
Acromegalomma interruptum is a bristle worm from the Sabellidae family.[2] The body of the worm consists of a head, a cylindrical, segmented body and a tailpiece. The head consists of a prostomium (part for the mouth opening) and a peristomium (part around the mouth) and carries paired appendages (palps, antennae and cirri).
Etymology and genus name
[edit]The name A. interruptum refers to the interrupted arrangement of the eyes on the radioles.[1] Acromegalomma interruptum was originally called Megalomma interrupta, however Megalomma is already the name of a genus of beetles, which was described before. Therefore the genus in the family Sabellidae was renamed to Acromegalomma.[3]
