Gregarine parasites from orbiniidae polychaete
Orbiniidae is a family of polychaete worms. Orbiniids are mostly unselective deposit feeders on marine detritus. They can be found from the neritic zone to abyssal depths.
The family was revised in 1957 by Hartman and some further revisions were made by Blake in 2000.
