First records of the echiurans Anelassorhynchus semoni (Fischer, 1896) and A. mucosus (Ikeda, 1904) from the east coast of southern Africa (Echiuroinea: Echiuridae)
Two species of echiurans (Echiura), Anelassorhynchus semoni (Fischer, 1896) and A. mucosus (Ikeda, 1904), were collected from the intertidal rocky shores at Perriers Rock on the Kwazulu-Natal north coast. This is the first known record of these species from South African waters. Anelassorhynchus sem...
