—(H, I) live photographs of paratypes (SIO- BIC 3797) in the host’s bursa (H) and removed (I); (J) stained thin section, abbreviations: chaetae (ch); gut (g); longitudinal muscle (lm); oocyte (o). Scale bars 1 cm (A, B, G); 1 mm (C–F, H–I); 100 µm (J).
Etymology.
Latin for tongue, named for its resemblance to a mammalian tongue.
Diagnosis and description.
Holotype
recovered from host’s bursa (
Fig. 7
A–B). Body elongate, rounded posteriorly and anteriorly (
Fig. 7
C–F). Length ~
1.3 cm
, width ~
6 mm
following fixation. Mouth and cloaca terminal. Five pairs of low parapodia with chaetae small and barely emergent. Orange in life, color faded in preservative.
Remarks.
Four species of
Protomyzostomum
have been previously described—
Protomyzostomum glanduliferum
Bartsch & Faubel, 1995
,
P. polynephris
Fedotov, 1912
,
P. astrocladi
Fedotov, 1925
, and
P. sagamiense
Okada, 1922
.
Protomyzostomum polynephris
and
P. sagamiense
were recorded from basketstar hosts (
Gorgonocephalus
), from Arctic and Japanese waters respectively.
Protomyzostomum glanduliferum
is known from
Antarctic
waters, but inhabits the brittlestar
Ophiacantha antarctica
. Sequences of
Lanterbecq
et al.
(2006)
for
P. glanduliferum
and
P. polynephris
were found to be incorrect in
Summers & Rouse (2014)
. An undescribed myzostomid has also been recorded from another
Antarctic
brittlestar,
Ophionotus victoriae
Bell, 1902
by
Bartsch & Faubel, 1995
.
