Description Original description by McIntosh (1869: 424): ''From the same source as the latter there is also the anterior fragment of another curious and new example of the same sub-family, Polycirrus tribullata, n. s., which has neither bristles nor hooks. The head and tip have the usual tentacles. The body has no ventral plates, but only a raised central line. There are three pairs of well-marked circular truncated papillae (on the sixth, seventh, and eighth segments), each consisting of a raised ring externally, with an elevation in the centre. Two minute papillae were visible in front of the first flattened process, but only a trace of an elevation occurred on the lateral region of the succeeding segments, which were two-ringed. The cuticle has a minutely granular aspect. The remarkable lateral processes may act as suckers.'' [details]
Editor's comment McIntosh (1869: 424) stated that the single anterior fragment of Polycirrus tribullata described by him as a new species was ''From the same source as the latter'', Lysilla loveni, which on its turn had been found ''Amongst the Polycirridea from the same region'' than Thelepus circinnatus [sic], ''dredged in 90 fathoms off St Magnus Bay, Shetland, by Mr Jeffreys''. Most authors assumed that the type locality of Polycirrus tribullata was then off St Magnus Bay, Shetland. However, in posterior works McIntosh states that the species was ''dredged by J. G. Jeffreys, 90 fathoms off N. Unst, June and July 1867'' (McIntosh, 1915: 38) and ''Dredged in 90 fathoms off North Unst, Shetland, in July, 1867 (Dr. Gwyn Jeffreys)'' (McIntosh, 1922: 202, as Hauchiella tribullata). [details]
Etymology Not specified in the original description. The specific epithet tribullata is a New Latin adjective composed by the Greek and Latin prefix tri-, meaning 'three', and the Latin adjective bullata (maculine: bullatus), meaning 'having bosses, vesicles or studs', and refers presumably to the presence of ''three pairs of well-marked circular truncated papillae (on the sixth, seventh and eighth segments), each consisting of a raised ring externally, with an elevation in the centre'' (McIntosh, 1869: 424). [details]
Habitat Shelf depths, type of sediment not stated in the original description. [details]
Taxonomy Moved to different genus. [details]
Type locality Off North Unst, Shetland Islands, Scotland, United Kingdom, Atlantic Ocean (gazetteer estimate 61.0°, -1.0°), 90 fathoms (about 164.6 m). [details]
