Furcate (also called comb, forked or brush) chaetae are similar to capillaries for most of their length but expand distally into a flattened comb- or fork-like tip.

Hooks are stout chaetae that curve distally and may be dentate or strongly curved (falcate). These chaetae may also be capped with a translucent hyaline hood.

Compound chaetae possess a joint or hinge toward the distal end that allows a distal blade or appendage to articulate around
