Info

Tomopteris Eschscholtz, 1825

Tomopteris is a genus of marine planktonic polychaetes. All described species are known to be holoplanktic, meaning that they spend their entire life cycles in the water column.

"Tomopteris" means "cut wing", alluding to how their parapods form a kind of fin for swimming.
