==Description==
''Capitulatinoe cupisetis'' is a long-bodied species, with up to 180 segments and 75 to at least 100 pairs of [elytra](/source/Elytron_(Annelida)). The antennae are located beneath the [prostomium](/source/prostomium) and the lateral antennae are inserted slightly dorsal to the median antenna. The [neuropodium](/source/Parapodium) is rounded. [Notochaetae](/source/Chaeta) are absent and there are only a few [neurochaetae](/source/Chaeta). The neurochaetae each have a distinctive half-moon shaped pocket on one side formed by a curved row of fine teeth and bidentate tips.
