Sipuncula

Aspidosiphon sp., copyright Moorea Biocode.


Belongs within: Annelida.

The Sipuncula, peanut worms, are a group of marine worms with a retractile proboscis (Howell 1962). Though often treated as a distinct 'phylum' within the animals, recent analyses have suggested that they may be derived annelids that have secondarily lost segmentation.

Characters (from Howell 1962): Body unsegmented or poorly segmented, cylindrical or subcylindrical; retractile introvert present at anterior end, may be armed with chitinous hooks.
