Abstract
The basement membrane of the epidermis in Lineus atrocaeruleus(Schmarda 1859) (Nemertia: Heteronemertea) is formed by a tight network of oxytalan fibres which send projections into the epidermis and branch towards the proximal dermis, in close association with the subepidermal musculature. The histophysiology of this relationship is discussed.
