BILARVAL SPECIES. “In some spionid polychaetes, both planktotrophic and lecithotrophic larvae may occur in a single species, and in the marine gastropod Haminaea callidegenita, both veliger larvae and ‘post-larval’ juveniles are produced from the same egg mass. In another marine gastropod, Alderia modesta, the siblings are sometimes all planktotrophic, or all lecitotrophic, but sometimes both.”
