摘要
A new gastrotrich, Xenotrichula paralineata sp. nov., is described from the Gulf coast at Biloxi, Mississippi. The species is characterized as the only medium sized xenotrichulid species, lacking tentacles, that has locomotor cirri of similar size, pedunculated dorsal scales, ovoid pluria, an oval patch of 14 transverse scales atop the head, 9 medial scales per furcal branch, cirri beneath the gut at U47, and a furcal indentation to U82. It is here distinguished from its Mediterranean sibling species, Xenotrichula lineata Schrom, 1972.
