A new genus and species of Serpulidae (Annelida, Polychaeta) from the Caribbean Sea. Turbocavus secretus (gen. nov. and sp. nov.) is described from shallow hard substrates (0.5-3 m) in wind-sheltered bays of St. John, U.S. Virgin Islands and Curaçao, as well as from diving depths (46-49 m) around Bonaire (Leeward Antilles), Caribbean Sea. The new taxon, which has from 7 to 19 thoracic chaetigers and up to 335 abdominal chaetigers, bears a unique type of thoracic chaeta which is multifolded at the base and continues with a groove tapering to the capillary tip. The new serpulid has unique 18S rRNA sequences and genetic analysis of the 18S rRNA gene situates the new genus at the basis of the serpulid cladogram, well separated from other genera, and close to Filograna/Salmacina and Protula.
来自加勒比海的龙介虫科(环节动物门,多毛纲)一新属及新种。隐秘涡管虫(新属及新种)是在美国维尔京群岛圣约翰岛和库拉索岛受庇护海湾的浅海硬质基质(0.5 - 3米)中,以及在加勒比海龙介虫科(背风安的列斯群岛)博内尔岛周围的潜水深度(46 - 49米)中发现的。这个新分类单元有7至19个胸节刚节,多达335个腹节刚节,其胸刚毛具有独特类型,基部多褶并延续为一条向毛细尖逐渐变细的凹槽。这种新龙介虫具有独特的18S rRNA序列,对18S rRNA基因的遗传分析将新属置于龙介虫科系统发育树的基部,与其他属明显分开,且与丝鳃虫属/沙蚕属和原管虫属相近。
