What is The functional morphology and possible taxonomic significance of the parapodia of the maldanid polychaetes Clymenella torquata and Euclymene oerstedi about?
## Abstract The morphology of the chaetae of the maldanid polychaetes __Clymenella torquata__ (Leidy) and __Euclymene oerstedi__ (Claparède) (= __Caesicirrus neglectus__ Arwidsson, '11) are described and related to movements observed in the laboratory. Graphs are constructed of the number and length of the neuropodial chaetae of each chaetiger throughout the body of __Clymenella__ and of species of the genera __Euclymene, Macroclymene__ and __Axiothella__, and show a characteristic and relatively constant pattern for each species. This work suggests that in making taxonomic decisions, more attention should be paid to the overall pattern of the neuropodial chaetae and less to the confusing distinction between aciculae and rostral uncini.
