Description Original German description:
Prostomium klein, kegelförmig, ohne Augen; Segmente mit bis zu 2 zusätzlichen sekundären Ringfurchen; Kiemen vom 2. Segment bis nahe ans Körperhinterende, nicht verzweigt; Pygidium kurz, mit Analanhängen.
English translation (by the Editor):
Prostomium small, conical, without eyes; segments with up to 2 additional secondary ring furrows; branchiae from segment 2 to near the posterior end of the body, unbranched; pygidium short, with anal cirri. [details]
Etymology The specific epithet trianulata refers to the secondary annulation of the segments, with 2 additional secondary ring furrows that give the appearance of triannulated segments. [details]
Nomenclature A short description of Travisia kerguelensis trianulata was published, accompanied by a drawing of a specimen, in Paiva & Wägele (1990) as being in press ("im Druck") elsewhere, but that work was never released. However, according to the ICZN, article 13, for names published after 1933 (and before 1999), the short description published in Paiva & Wägele (1990) is enough to consider the name as valid.

Type locality South Shetland Islands, Antarctic Peninsula. [details]
