Kostenko AG, Mamkaev YuV 1990 (citation)- p 21, "Green convoluts possessing symbiotic algae and sagittocysts are isolated into a genus Simsagittifera [Symsagittifera] which is also characterized by a weakly pronounced ciliated antrum, ciliated vagina, and a thin sclerotized nozzle of bursa; the seminal vesicle does not have its own walls. Seven species are referred to the genus, they are: S. schultzei (O. Schmidt, 1852), S. roscoffensis (Graff, 1891), S. japonica (Kato, 1951), S. macnaei (Du Bois Reymond Marcus, 1957), S. psammophila (Beklemischev, 1957), S. bifoveolata (Mamkaev, 1971), S. nitidae (Yamasu, 1982). A detailed revision of S. psammophila is given. The comparative description of its reproductive apparatus contains new data on S. bifoveolata and S. schultzei."Notes for Symsagittifera roscoffensis

Le Mao P, Godet L, Fournier J, Desroy N, Gentil F, et al (citation), p 11, "Symsagittifera roscoffensis (Graff, 1891) Acoela, Sagittiferidae. Cette espèce grégaire, strictement intertidale, tient son nom de son lieu de découverte à proximité de la Station biologique de Roscoff en 1891. Elle vit sur les estrans sableux, à l’abri du ressac et ne se rencontre que sur une aire de répartition limitée allant des îles Anglo- Normandes à la péninsule Ibérique. Il existe également une station isolée au Pays de Galles (Mettam, 1979 ; Selosse, 2000). Il s’agit d’un ver plat de petite taille (généralement 1 à 4 mm) vivant en symbiose avec l’algue unicellulaire Tetraselmis convolutæ qui lui donne une couleur verte. Il bénéficie des produits de la photosynthèse de l’algue (acides aminés, sucres) qui se trouve, quant à elle, à l’abri des prédateurs. Il ne possède pas de cavité digestive ni de système circulatoire et excréteur (Bailly, 2009). Les fortes densités qu’il atteint parfois dans l’horizon de résurgence des estrans sableux y forment de superbes velours vert bouteille visibles de loin et qui sont connus de tous les naturalistes habitués à fréquenter les grèves bretonnes. À marée basse, ce ver remonte à la surface dans une fine pellicule d’eau, puis s’enfouit dans le sédiment environ deux heures avant la marée haute, ou pour peu que l’on tapote légèrement la surface du sédiment. Dans le Golfe, où l’espèce est en limite de répartition continue, elle est connue des plages normandes et bretonnes, ainsi qu’à Chausey et dans les îles Anglo-Normandes où elle semble en extension. Elle est également présente en situation d’isolat dans les archipels des Minquiers et des Ecréhous, bien que les capacités de dispersion de cette espèce soient limitées, car les œufs d’où sont directement issus de jeunes individus benthiques sont pondus entre les grains de sable (Douglas, 1983)."Return to Symsagittifera roscoffensis
