Male: A, A1 (segments 1-7 = ancestral I-XVI); B, left A1 (segments 8-14 = ancestral XVII-XXIII); ; C, left A1 (segments 15-18 = ancestral XXIV-XXVIII); D, right A1 (segments 13-17 = ancestral XXII-XXVIII); E, Mxp. Scale bars = 0.050 mm. Nota: Md, Mx1, Mx2 and P1-P4 similar to those of female. Mxp with 3 smaller sclerotized setae distally, 1 short brush-like sensory seta at mid-length with a basket-like head, 1 spinulose and 1 long vermiform sensory setae submedially, and 1 long vermiform sensory seta at the base.

Distribution map of Scolecitrichopsis elenae by geographical zones
hyperbenthic (Depth: 1535-1573 m). Schulz (2005, p.69) points out the species deviates from congeners in that it has an arrangement of 4 vermiform plus 4 brush-like sensory filaments on the endopod of Mx2 in both seses which is untypical of any of the remaining scolecitrichids, except Racovitzanus antarcticus Giesbrecht (1902), as redescribed by Park (1983).
