''Sphaerosyllis bardukaciculata'' is a species belonging to the phylum Annelida, a group known as the segmented worms.〔San Martín, G. (2005). Exogoninae (Polychaeta: Syllidae) from Australia with the description of a new genus and twenty-two new species. Records of the Australian Museum. 57(1): 39-152., available online at http://dx.doi.org/10.3853/j.0067-1975.57.2005.1438, page(s): 55-57, figs. 11A-G, 12A-E.〕 ''Sphaerosyllis bardukaciculatan'' is similar to ''Sphaerosyllis aciculata'' from Florida; its chaetae are almost identical; the former, however, differs by having longer antennae and anal cirri, as well as parapodial glands with granular material.〔 The animal's name is derived from the Aboriginal word ''barduk'', meaning "near", alluding to the aforementioned likeness with ''S. aciculata''. ==Description== The species' body is small, with a total length of and width of , including 24 chaetigers. It possesses short papillae on its dorsum. Its prostomium is ovate, covered dorsally in part by the peristomium, showing 4 large eyes in a trapezoidal arrangement. Its antennae are longer than the prostomium, shorter than the combined length of its prostomium and palps. The palps are fused along their lengh, eliciting a dorsal furrow.〔 Its dorsal cirri are short on its anterior segments, while a bit longer on its midbody and posterior segments; cirri are absent on chaetiger 2. Its parapodial glands are small, present from chaetigers 4-5.〔 It shows anterior parapodia with 3-4 compound chaetae, with short and unidentate blades. The blades of these compound chaetae possess short, marginal spines which are longer on the most dorsal chaetae. ''Sphaerosyllis bardukaciculata'' shows 4 simple chaetae on the posterior parapodia. It counts with a single acicula, bent distally to a right angle.〔 The pharynx spans approximately 3 segments. Its pharyngeal tooth is long, located on the anterior margin. Its proventricle spans through 2 segments, with 23 muscle cell rows. Its pygidium is small, with long papillae and 2 anal cirri.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Sphaerosyllis bardukaciculata」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
