Description
Summary:The morphology and internal anatomy of the caudofoveate Falcidens vasconiensis Salvini-Plawen, 1996, are described and a 3D reconstruction of its anatomy is made with the program AVIZO 6.3.1. The detailed body shape, additional sclerite types, digestive system, and nervous system of F. vasconiensis are described for the first time. The nine specimens studied here were collected off the NW Iberian Peninsula between 150 and 600 m depth during the expeditions DIVA-A rtabria I 2002 and 2003, V ertidos 2004, and A Selva 2008.
