A New Species of the Mysterious Genus Spirodiscus (Annelida: Serpulidae) of the Eastern Australian Abyss

In May–June 2017 an expedition on board RV Investigator sampled benthic communities along the lower slope and abyss of Australia’s eastern margin from off mid-Tasmania to the Coral Sea. Over 200 annelids of the family Serpulidae collected during the voyage were collected and deposited in the Australian Museum in Sydney. Among them there was a new species Spirodiscus ottofinamusi of the poorly known abyssal (3754–4378 m) genus Spirodiscus.
The data has been acquired on the following RV Investigator voyage( <a href=\"https://www.marine.csiro.au/data/trawler/survey_details.cfm?survey=IN2017_V03\">IN2017_V03</a> with links to additional metadata, datasets, events, deployments, publications etc.

2017年5月至6月，科研团队搭乘RV Investigator科考船，在澳大利亚东缘从塔斯马尼亚中部外海至珊瑚海的大陆下斜坡及深渊带区域开展底栖生物群落采样。本次航行共采集到200余件龙介虫科（Serpulidae）环节动物标本，现存于悉尼澳大利亚博物馆。其中包含隶属于鲜为人知的深渊螺盘虫属（Spirodiscus，栖息水深3754~4378米）的一新种——Spirodiscus ottofinamusi。
