Family
Tubulanidae
Bürger, 1904
Tubulanidae
is the only palaeonemertean family that was represented in the Costa Rican samples. In total, six tubulanid specimens were collected at depths around
1000 m
from two nearby localities (Mound 11 & Mound 12). A DNA analysis of
four specimens
collected over different years showed that all specimens belong to the same species that is firmly nested within
Tubulanidae
(
