Scaleworm - Scaleworm

Japanese: ウロコムシ(鱗虫) - ウロコムシ(英語表記)scale‐worm
Scaleworm - Scaleworm
A general term for annelids belonging to the Polychaeta family, Polynoidae. In a broader sense, it can also include the families Polynoidae, Polynoidae, and Polynoidae. Most Polynoidae live under stones in the intertidal zone or between the roots of seaweed, but some live in symbiosis by attaching themselves to the surface of the bodies of starfish, sea urchins, and crinoids, and some live in symbiosis inside the tubes of burrowing worms. Dorsal scales are arranged in pairs on both sides of the dorsal body, at intervals like roof tiles. The name "scale worm" comes from this.

多毛綱ウロコムシ科Polynoidaeに属する環形動物の総称。広義にはホガタウロコムシ科,ノラリウロコムシ科,コガネウロコムシ科をも含めることがある。 ウロコムシ科の大部分は潮間帯の石の下や海藻の根部の間などにすんでいるが,ヒトデ類,ウニ類やウミユリ類の体の表面に付着して共生するものや,フサゴカイの棲管(せいかん)の中で共生するものもある。背体の背面両側に対になって背鱗が屋根瓦のように隔節に並ぶ。ウロコムシの名もこれによる。
