Abstract
A new species of polychaete annelid, Nereis (Neanthes) micromma, is described and illustrated. The species, which is most abundant on muddy sand bottoms, has been collected offshore from the Texas coast. The inappropriateness of biarticulate in describing the palps of some nereidids is discussed.
