Abstract
Cocoons of the piscicolid leech Notostomum cyclostomum Johansson, 1898 were found on the shell of the whelk Buccinum striatissimum collected at 200 m in depth in the southern Sea of Japan off Hyogo Prefecture, central Japan. The leech appears to utilize whelks as well as snow crabs Chionoecetes opilio as a substrate for cocoon deposition.
