Some polynoid polychaetes, found living commensally in mantle cavities of deep-sea mussels on the Galapagos Rift vent area, are described as a new genus and new species, Branchipolynoe symmytilida, and referred to the new subfamily Branchipolynoinae. They are unusual in having well-developed arborescent branchiae. A series of young, juveniles, and adults allows observation of their growth stages.
