Specimens ofNemertopsis gracilis var.bullocki Coe, 1940 collected from Huian, Fujian Province, China, are described. The variety is upgraded to specific level on the basis of: the dorsal surface having a pair of blackish brown longitudinal stripes meeting anteriorly with a broad transverse band of the same color; the proboscis having 11–13 distinct proboscis nerves in its longitudinal muscle layer.
