Two Species of Saccoglossus (Enteropneusta) from South Australia
Transactions of the Royal Society of South Australia
A new species of the Enterupneusta, Saccoglossus aulakoeis is described. It possesses a deep, dorsal, longitudinal groove on its proboscis. It is compared with three previously described members of the genus which have similar grooves. One or these species, Saccoglossus otagoensis (Benham) has been found in the same vicinity. This is a new record for Australia. The two species however, occupy different hahitats, S. aulakoeis being found in coarse sand and shell grit in amongst the roots of Zostera while S. otagoensis, in this locality, has been found only under stones at or below the level of low water spring tides
