A genus of marine animals, specifically acorn worms, characterized by having an elongated tongue or tongue-like structure.
From Greek 'dolichOS' (long) and 'glōssa' (tongue), a scientific genus name describing the worm's most distinctive anatomical feature.
Dolichoglossus worms have a proboscis that works like a long tongue for feeding on seafloor mud—they're mysterious animals that helped scientists understand how different body plans evolved from common ancestors.
