説明
<p>Ikeda taenioides (Ikeda, 1904) (Annelida: Thalassematidae: Bonelliinae) is the world’s longest spoon worm species, which possesses an extremely long tape-like proboscis with a striped color pattern and a large brownish red trunk. This species is endemic to the Japanese Islands and inhabits a deep vertical burrow in intertidal and subtidal sand flats. Their proboscis, which extends from its small burrow opening, has been frequently observed around Japanese coasts. However, sampling of the main body (i.e., trunk) has been extremely rare because it always stays within a deep part of the burrow. Here, we report the success of the sampling of two specimens of I. taenioides with trunks in two different localities of the Seto Inland Sea (i.e., Ohmishima and Hachi), Japan, in 2019 and 2020 using a yabby pump. This is the first sampling of the trunk of I. taenioides in 88 years after its last collection in Onomichi Bay in 1931. We described the trunk color and morphological characteristics of the two specimens, including the internal anatomy. The trunks of the two specimens showed different colors, that is, pale brown (Ohmishima) and deep brownish red (Hachi). However, they were not distinguished to the species level by the comparison of partial COI sequences, suggesting that I. taenioides has an intraspecific variation in trunk color. Despite the difference in the sampling seasons (Ohmishima: June, Hachi: February), both specimens included numerous ripe eggs. According to previous studies, those collected in November and December also included numerous ripe eggs. Taken together, I. taenioides may be reproductive throughout the year or have multiple reproductive seasons per year.</p>
