This is only the second record in about a hundred years' blank since the holotype collected by Doflein in Sagami Bay. The specimens, dredged from slightly south of Sagami Bay at a depth between 133 m to 166 m, have a thick outer coat of sand entangled with crowded branches of tunic filaments, lined internally with a thin space traversed by basal portion of the filaments. The uninjured 16 mm long specimen has a ciliated groove as a longitudinal slit, the branchial sac composed of 8 (on the left) and 9 (on the right) folds, and one gonad on each side (the left being in the first intestinal loop), consisting of 9 (on the left) or 12 (on the right) capsules without any ligaments for their attaching to the mantle wall., 国立科学博物館によるプロジェクト,「相模灘およびその沿岸地域における動植物相の経時的比較に基づく環境変遷の解明」によって2001年から2003年にかけて相模湾と相模灘から40点のホヤ類が採集された.採集深度は20mから570mの範囲であった.生殖腺の未発達や標本の不完全のため属が決定できなかったものも少なくないが,9科にわたる27種が含まれていた.小文ではそのうち,Pyura comma (Hartmeyer, 1906)を詳細に記載した.ドフラインが相模湾で採集した1個体に対して本種が創設されて以来,約100年ぶりの再発見である.}, pages = {329--334}, title = {Second Record of Pyura comma (Hartmeyer, 1906) from Sagami Bay and Adjacent Waters, Japan (Urochordata: Ascidiacea)}, volume = {41}, year = {2006} }
