Depth range Intertidal. [details]Diagnosis Original diagnosis by Schmarda (1861: 41): "Corpus flavo-rubescens. Branchiae cephalicae pallidiores, breves; laterales cinnabarinae, parvae. In ultimis segmentis pinnulae. Os transversum" [details]
Distribution New Zealand (widespread). [details]
Etymology The specific epithet plagiostoma is composed by the Greek adjective plagios, meaning 'oblique', and the Greek noun stoma, meaning 'mouth', and refers to the shape of the mouth opening (see Schmarda, 1861: plate XXIV fig. 194). [details]
Habitat Common in Chione shell-banks, lives in sandy tubes clustered in empty shells of the bivalves Chione sp. and the less common Macoma sp. left after commercial harvesting in the low intertidal sands (ca.0.2 m tidal level). Also found in muddy sand of mangrove flats, living in fragile, U-shaped, sandy tubes in the upper 3-4 cm of muddy sand among mangrove pneumatophores. [details]
Reproduction At the date of the collection of the neotype (5 March 1992) females had oocytes of all sizes in the coelom, while males had well-developed sperm platelets at late pre-motile stages. [details]

Type locality Original type locality: New Zealand ("Neu-Seeland"). Neotype from Papanui Inlet, Otago Peninsula, Dunedin, South Island, New Zealand, Pacific Ocean (-45.85°, 170.7167°). [details]
