The proposed transfer of the echiuran <i>Ochetostoma capense</i> to the genus <i>Listriolobus</i>

Abstract

The taxonomic position of the echurian Ochetostoma capense is reviewed based on examination of type material and on specimens from the type locality. On the basis of the disposition of the inner oblique muscle layer, the species is transferred to the genus Listriolobus and is re-described as L. capensis.
