摘要
Four new species of the aplacophoran class Caudofoveata are described from the southern Sea of Japan, at a depth of 50-105m. These are two Scutopus species of the family Limifossoridae, one Falcidens species and one Chaetoderma species of the family Chaetodermatidae. Scutopus schanderi sp. nov. has a greenish body in life and a large, heavily sclerotized radula. Scutopus hamatanii sp. nov. has a brownish body in life and a small, slightly sclerotized radula. Falcidens ryokuyomaruae sp. nov. has a tail-like narrow posterior body with a dark brownish pedal shield and lanceolate sclerites with flared base and broad keel. Chaetoderma marisjaponicum sp. nov. has erect sclerites at the anterior body. [GRAPHICS]
