Abstract
In 1957 Iwata reported 21 species of nemerteans from Sagami Bay, Japan, including a new species, Amphiporus nagaiensis, collected from 100–110 m depth at north-eastern Nakafukari, near Nagai, on 7th August 1950. Subsequently Friedrich (1968) commented that this species should be placed in a new genus, Sagaminemertes. Friedrich’s conclusion was based on three characters: proboscis stylet apparatus, caecal appendages of the rhynchocoel, and the relationship between the brain and cerebral sense organs. The genus Sagaminemertes seemed to be situated near the genus Cratenemertes in the Monostiliferoidea.
