Notes for Convoluta sagittifera

[from Ivanov 1952 (citation), p. 102; transl. by A. Petrov] &emdash; One of the most common acoel species in the littoral zone of the south Sachalin is a greenish brown Convoluta, which we named C. sagittifera. In the late sumer and fall of 1946 we found it in great numbers among the seaweeds on different substrates (at depths of 0.5-2 m) especially near Antonovo and Chekhov.
