Pararosa vigarae, the only known species in the genus Pararosa, is a species of ribbon worm in the family Lineidae that was discovered off the coast of Galicia, Spain, in the Ría de Arousa estuary.[2][3] It is nicknamed the "accordion worm" because it can contract its body into ring-like folds like an accordion's bellows.[4][1] The discovery was confirmed using both external features and molecular genetic analysis.[2]
