Abstract
The hydrothermal vent-endemic polychaete Archinome jasoni Borda et al., 2013 is known from the Atlantic, Indian, and Southwest Pacific oceans. In this study, we report A. jasoni from Okinawa Trough, Japan, which represents the first record of this species and the genus from the Northwest Pacific. We determined 16S and 28S rRNA gene sequences from 1 of the 7 specimens collected. We compared our Northwest Pacific specimens to specimens from the Southwest Pacific, Atlantic, and Indian oceans, and our specimen was genetically most closely related to individuals from the Southwest Pacific.
