Abstract / Introduction / Summary:
Two echiurans, Ikeda taenioides (Ikeda, 1904) and Listriolobus sorbillans (Lampert, 1883), are reported based on specimens collected from tidal flats at three sites (Kirishima, Aira, and Kagoshima Cities) in Kagoshima Bay, Kagoshima Prefecture, Japan. These findings represent the first specimen-based records of I. taenioides and L. sorbillans from the Kagoshima mainland. An overview of the previous records of echiurans from the mainland waters is also presented.
