SUMMARY
Torquarator bullocki is an acorn worm characterized by a proboscis and collar each conspicuously broader from side-to-side than in their other dimensions, with prominent hepatic cavities, but lacking synapticles. It was the first collected specimen of a broad-collared, deep-sea enteropneust. [Holland et al. 2005]
