[From introduction:]
Nereidids are cylindrical worms of greatly varying lengths ranging from only a few millimeters to more than 20 centimeters; they are usually quite robust and preserve well, except for the far posterior part of large specimens and occasionally deciduous tentacular cirri. Although the family contains a great number of genera and species with quite variable morphologic features, nereidids are easily recognized by the presence of two often massivce palps on the prostomium and four pairs of tentacular cirri arising from the anterolateral corners of the peristomium.
