Abstract
The fertilization of the heteronemerteanLineus viridis Müller takes place in a cocoon built up by the female surrounding itself and the male. After the male has left the cocoon, the female builds a mucous layer within the cocoon, in which the fertilized eggs enclosed in egg capsules are embedded. Observations on mating behavior and spawning are described and discussed.
