Cephalodiscus planitectus

Cephalodiscus planitectus is a sessile hemichordate belonging to the order Cephalodiscida.

It is found at a depth of 100–300 metres off the island of Jōgashima, Sagami Bay, Japan.

There are three pairs of arms with tentacles.

Cephalodiscus planitectus is the most divergent of all Cephalodiscus species, with Miyamoto, Nishikawa and Namikawa (2020) suggesting that it constitutes a sister group to all existing Cephalodiscus species.
