Bill,
Here are a few images of Pruvotfolia pselliotes found from a dredging.
I include a close up of the "showy" genitalia of this species. The species was determined for me by Dr. Juan Lucas Cervera Currado.

Locality: Off Fomm ir-Rih Bay, 160 m, Malta, Mediterranean, October 2006, muddy substrate . Length: 15 mm. Photographer: C. Mifsud.

Dear Con,
Thanks for these interesting photos. They well illustrate the distinctive arrangement of modified cerata associated with the reproductive apparatus which Tardy felt justified the creation of the genus Pruvotfolia.

Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
