''''' Hartmania''''' is a genus of marine [polychaete](/source/Polychaeta) worms belonging to the family [Polynoidae](/source/Polynoidae), the scaleworms. ''Hartmania'' contains a single species, '''''Hartmania moorei''''' which is known from the north-west [Atlantic Ocean](/source/Atlantic_Ocean) off the coast of [North America](/source/North_America) from shallow water to depths of about 80 m.

==Description==
''Hartmania moorei'' is a short-bodied scale worm with about 35 to 37 segments and 15 pairs of [elytra](/source/Elytron_(Annelida)). The elytra are large and cover the dorsum completely; they have large tubercles on the surface. The [prostomium](/source/prostomium) is bilobed and deeply divided anteriorly with a pair of cephalic peaks with rounded tips. The lateral antennae are inserted ventrally, directly beneath the median antenna ceratophore, and the styles of all antennae have slender papillae. The [neuropodium](/source/Parapodium) is elongate and tapering. The [notochaetae](/source/Chaeta) are about as thick as the [neurochaetae](/source/Chaeta) and all chaetae have serrations in transverse rows and sharply pointed unidentate tips. Neurochaetae with bidentate tips are also absent.<ref name="Petti"/><ref>{{Cite book| publisher = CSIRO Publishing|editor= R.S. Wilson |editor2=P.A. Hutchings |editor3=C. J.

==Biology and Ecology==
Some specimens of ''Hartmania moorei'' have been collected from the tubes of [nereidid](/source/Nereididae) polychaetes such as ''[Alitta virens](/source/Alitta_virens)'' and is likely to have a [commensal](/source/commensal) relationship with them.
