Table 3 in Revealing a new eyeless Nereis (Nereididae: Annelida) clade from deep-sea organic falls

Table 3. Comparison of morphological features of deep-sea Nereis species. Information was taken from original descriptions whenever available.Depths for collection of holotypes (or type series) are in metres; size is the body size in millimetres; and tentacular cirri referr to the posterodorsal one and the chaetiger it reaches. (I) indicates incomplete specimens.
