Ophelia is the name of a species-rich genus of small marine annelids from the multi - bristle family of the Opheliidae .
features
The fully grown bristle worms of the genus Ophelia , from a few millimeters to about 5.5 cm in size, are distinguished within the family Opheliidae by simple gills and only have a ventral groove in the rear segments. As in the genus Travisia , the parapodia are very small and only rudimentary, so that the bristles seem to sit directly on the body wall. The anterior region of the body is not separated from the thoracic region by a constriction . The anal cirrus consists of a pair of larger papillae on the abdomen and several smaller papillae on the back, arranged in transverse rows. A characteristic of the genus is that only three segments have nephridia , the six exits of which can sit on or next to the crests of the parapodia.
