It is generally admitted that benthic assemblages of the deep ocean are very strongly limited by the scarcity of the food coming from the euphotic layers as small particles. Nevertheless, long period exposures of artificial substrates enriched in concentrated organic matter reveal the occurrence of several species displaying remarkable features. Among them, a large polynoid (polychaetous annelid, Aphroditoidea) bearing parapodial branchiae represents a new species strongly related to a few species recently discovered within the faunal assemblages linked with submarine hydrothermal vents and hypersaline seeps.
