Phascolosoma (Phascolosoma) granulatum Leuckart, 1828
Description: Body wall thick, not transparent, with irregular dark bands on introvert. Introvert nearly as long as trunk length. Papillae on trunk granular and dome-shaped. Hooks arranged in over 50 rings, some of them incomplete; with narrow clear streak with indistinct granular triangle; indistinct or no secondary tooth. Strong spindle muscle arising near anus; attached to posterior part of trunk. Contractile vessel simple. Two black eye spots present.
Remarks: Reexamination of the specimens previously identified as P. (P.) granulatum in the Aegean Sea by Ergen and Çınar (1994) and Çinar et al. (2002) revealed that they are, in fact, Phascolosoma (P.) stephensoni . The report of this species by Kocataş (1978) on some algae in İzmir Bay is also questionable, but his material is not available for examination.
