Abstract
    The echiuran genus Arhynchite Satô, 1937 with the species Arhynchite arhynchite (Ikeda, 1924) is recorded for the first time in the Mediterranean Sea. Five specimens were found in the muddy bottoms of the Rhône prodelta (Gulf of Lions, France). They are described and compared with published descriptions of A. arhynchite.
