One new species of dorvilleid, Ophryotrocha lipscombae, is described based on material from the U.S. Atlantic slope. This new species is unique in its presence of 5 pairs of accessory plates, which are never found in any other dorvilleids, but are present in all labidognath-prionognath euniceans. A brief discussion of the phylogenetic position of Ophryotrocha lipscombae in the Eunicida is provided.
