TY - JOUR AB - A new species of the genus Capitella, Capitella iatapiuna sp. nov., has been found in deep sea whale-fall samples, São Paulo Ridge-Southwest Atlantic. The new species is mainly characterized by a bluntly rounded prostomium and a very distinct peristomium forming a complete ring. Ribosomal 16S sequences were obtained and used for inter-specific comparisons. This species is herein described and compared to other species of the genus. Its ecological role in the whale-fall community is also discussed. A1 - Silva, C.F. A1 - Shimabukuro, M. A1 - Alfaro-Lucas, J.M. A1 - Fujiwara, Y. A1 - Sumida, P.Y. A1 - Amaral, A.C.
