Under the name of Lycoris fucata De Haan describes a species of Annelid 
constantly found associated with Teredo navalis. The description is not 
sufficient to enable the species to be positively determined. It is stated to 
feed on the shipworm ; and M. Kater has seen one lay hold of the mollusk, 
enter into its burrow, and never stop eating it until only the valves were 
left. Archiv. Neerland. tome i. liv. 1, 18G6, p. 21, pi. 1. fig. 3.
