Del2. A1313 (1 whole in formalin, formerly A1313_1, to MZUCR) and A1759 (1 whole + pieces in formalin, posterior ethanol; formerly A1313_2) were collected together but maintain separate numbers as separate individuals. Field notes: L2; 8 anterior dorsal cirri; median antenna; long articulated palps and antennae; long pharynx, long palps. Photos: 7088-7094 x1; 7095-7096 x?; 7154 x3; 7155 x5. Original ID Hesionid 1. Previously identified as the proposed new species Amphiduros levinae, but A. levinae cannot be distinguished from Amphiduropsis axialensis so A. levinae will not be described. Ethanol piece destroyed in sequencing.
