Annelid
The annelids (Annelida, from Latin anellus, "little ring"), also known as the segmented worms, are a large phylum, with over 22,000 extant species including ragworms, earthworms, and leeches.
Arenicolidae
Arenicolidae is a family of marine polychaete worms.
See Disconatis and Arenicolidae
Australia
Australia, officially the Commonwealth of Australia, is a country comprising the mainland of the Australian continent, the island of Tasmania, and numerous smaller islands.
Chaeta
A chaeta or cheta (chaetae) is a chitinous bristle or seta found on annelid worms, although the term is also frequently used to describe similar structures in other invertebrates such as arthropods.
Commensalism
Commensalism is a long-term biological interaction (symbiosis) in which members of one species gain benefits while those of the other species neither benefit nor are harmed.
See Disconatis and Commensalism
Disconatis accolus
Disconatis accolus is only known from New Zealand where it is commensal in the tubes of marine annelids of the family Arenicolidae. Disconatis and Disconatis accolus are Phyllodocida.
See Disconatis and Disconatis accolus
Disconatis contubernalis
Disconatis contubernalis is only known from Australia where it is commensal in the tubes of marine annelids of the family Maldanidae. Disconatis and Disconatis contubernalis are Phyllodocida.
See Disconatis and Disconatis contubernalis
Elytron (annelid anatomy)
In annelids, elytra (from Greek แผλυτρον "sheath, cover";: elytron) are shield-like scales that are attached dorsally, one pair on each of a number of alternating segments and entirely or partly cover the dorsum.

Maldanidae
Maldanidae is a family of more than 200 species of marine polychaetes commonly known as bamboo worms or maldanid worms.
New Zealand

Parapodium
In invertebrates, the term parapodium (Gr. para, beyond or beside + podia, feet;: parapodia) refers to lateral outgrowths or protrusions from the body.
Polynoidae
Polynoidae is a family of marine Polychaete worms known as "scale worms" due to the scale-like elytra on the dorsal surface. Disconatis and Polynoidae are Phyllodocida.
