Description. A large species, recorded up to 180 mm long, 3 mm wide, with about 350 segments ( Pettibone 1957); largest specimen in current collection incomplete (SIO-BIC A2113), 18.5 mm long, 1.8 mm wide, with 50 segments. Complete juvenile 3.05 mm long with 36 setigers; larger incomplete juvenile 5.2 mm long with 44 setigers. Body with laterally expanded thoracic segments, dorsoventrally flattened, with narrow crowded segments, about ten times wider than long ( Fig. 13A View FIGURE 13 ); abdominal segments oval in cross section with venter rounded, individual segments shorter, narrower, less crowded, about three times wider than long. Parapodia continuing across abdominal venter as broad annular ring, with intersegmental areas subdivided into two narrow rings, producing triannulate segments. Some specimens with oval-shaped protozoans attached to thoracic parapodia. Color in alcohol white to light tan.

Prostomium short, thick, rounded to truncate on anterior margin ( Fig. 13A View FIGURE 13 ); eyespots absent; nuchal organs transverse grooves on posterior lateral margin ( Fig. 13B View FIGURE 13 ). Peristomium a single ring, narrower than, but about same length as, setiger 1 ( Fig. 13A View FIGURE 13 ); extending ventrally to form ventral lip of mouth.

Thorax recorded with 17–26 setigers by Hartman (1957) and Pettibone (1957) and 13–14 setigers by Blake (1996); largest specimens in present collection with 14–15 thoracic setigers and 1–2 transitional setigers. Branchiae from setiger 4–6, short at first ( Fig. 13A View FIGURE 13 ), becoming longer over thoracic segments and longest in middle and abdominal segments, continuing to posterior end; individual branchiae erect, tapering to narrow rounded apex, with dense lateral ciliation.

Thoracic notopodia with a narrow, tapering postsetal lamella and dense fascicles of long, camerated capillaries ( Fig. 13D View FIGURE 13 ). Abdominal notopodia with a long, narrow postsetal lobe and a fascicle of long, thin camerated capillaries and 1–3 furcate setae with unequal, blunt-tipped tynes and a row of thin needles between tynes. Thoracic neuropodia thickened basally with an elongated postsetal lamella; a second lamella beginning ventral to the first at about setiger 10 ( Fig. 13 View FIGURE 13 B–D), continuing on a few abdominal segments before disappearing. Juveniles of about 5 mm or less lacking second neuropodial postsetal lamella. Neurosetae of thoracic segments include 2–4 rows of thick uncini with transverse ribs along their length, terminating in a flattened, weakly notched tip surrounded by thin transparent hood ( Fig. 13 View FIGURE 13 E–F). Uncini accompanied by long, thin camerated capillaries ( Fig. 13 View FIGURE 13 E–F), both interspersed and as 1–2 separate posterior rows. Abdominal neuropodia narrow, ending in bilobed tip with short inner, rounded lobe and longer narrow outer lobe. Setae include a few thin, capillaries and 1–2 thicker, blunt-tipped projecting aciculae.

Pygidium with four lobes surrounding anus, each bearing a short cirrus.

Methyl Green stain. No pattern; prostomium not staining; body stains uniformly, de-stains rapidly.

Remarks. Naineris uncinata is characterized by having a short, blunt prostomium, a mixture of thoracic neuropodial capillaries and uncini with transverse ribs along the shaft and a notched tip, branchiae from setigers 4–6, and most importantly a second neuropodial postsetal lamella in posterior thoracic and some transitional segments. However, in the present study, juveniles ranging in size from 3–5 mm long and with 36–44 setigers that are clearly Naineris uncinata have all characteristics of the adults except for the second neuropodial lamella of posterior thoracic segments. Evidently, the extra cirrus does not develop until later in development. This discovery suggests that the small specimens identified as N. cf. grubei by Blake (1996) are in fact N. uncinata .

The range and depths recorded for Naineris uncinata are unusual, ranging from the intertidal and low water to middle slope depths down to about 600 m. However, the majority of historical records are from about 70–150 m with relatively few specimens recorded from any one location ( Hartman 1957; Pettibone 1957). In the present study, larger numbers of specimens have been recorded from gas hydrate seeps off Oregon in 786 m suggesting that the preferred habitat for the species might be in such locations.

Distribution. Alaska to southern California, shallow subtidal to ca. 620 m ( Hartman 1957; Pettibone 1957). Upper slope depths of 567–795 m off Oregon in gas hydrate and seep sediments on the Cascadia Subduction Zone (this study).
