Entoconcha (en-to-kong'ka), n. [NL., < Gr. 
tirof, within, + to'YX'h a shell: see conch.] A 
remarkable genus of gastropod mollusks par- 
asitic in holothurians, degraded by parasitism, 
and of uncertain systematic posi- 
tion among Gastropoda. These mol- 
lusks are still imperfectly known, but are 
supposed to be nudibranchs. E. mirabilis 
is an internal worm-like parasite of Synapta 
digitata, with one end hanging free in the 
body-cavity of Synapta, the other attached 
to the alimentary canal of the host, and con- 
tained in what is called the molluskigerous 
sac occasionally found in Synapta. The ,>, KCU . 
eggs develop a velum and an operculated 
shell, found free in the body-cavity of the host, whence 
the name. E. muelleri is another species of the genus, 
found in the trepang, Holothuria edulis.
