Distribution of Phoronis ijimai in British Columbia in British Columbia

Introduction


Note that this may be Phoronis. vancouverensis if the validity of that species is confirmed. "See the short discussion by Russell Zimmer in the new edition of Light's Manual (edited by Jim Carlton, 2007 p.860-863). Zimmer calls our species P. vancouverensis noting that the larva of P. ijimai is unlike that of the local form." (Shimek 2013 pers. comm.).
