Pseudonotopygos [Pseudonotopygos]

Description

Pseudonotopygos is a genus characterized by its members' ability to secrete a mucous sheath, which is thought to play a role in protection and possibly in feeding. These worms are less visible and studied than other genera in the family, with most knowledge of their behavior and ecology coming from incidental encounters. They are found in a variety of marine settings, often buried in sediment.
