Diagnosis Orbiniidae with a conical prostomium, one achaetous buccal segment (peristomium), thoracic neurochaetae all crenulate capillaries as are thoracic notochaetae, branchiae from chaetiger 8 or later, 1-3 thoracic neuropodial postchaetal processes, 0-2 thoracic subpodal papillae, 0-4 abdominal subpodal papillae, stomach papillae rare, interramal cirri present or absent, forked chaetae present or absent, 0-2 anal cirri (Mackie, 1987: 2). Eibye-Jacobsen (2002: 79) emended the genus to allow the presence of up to six podal paillae and seven subpodal papillae. [details]
Etymology The name of the genus Leitoscoloplos is derived from the Greek words leitos, meaning 'simple', and scoloplos, meaning 'a thorn or pointed bristle', and refers to the presence of only crenulate capillaries on the thoracic neuropodia. [details]
