Occurrence of the ribbon worm Emplectonema neesii (Nemertea: Hoplonemertea) on the Atlantic coast of Spain

Abstract:

The occurrence of the hoplonemertean Emplectonema neesii in the north-east Atlantic has been reported from Iceland to France. This paper provides the first record of E. neesii in Galicia (north-west Spain), possibly the most southern location, if the previous records under this name from the Mediterranean referred to a different species. Morphological data and pictures of this species are provided. © Marine Biological Association of the United Kingdom, 2014.
