A new species of Polydora, burrowing in the shells of the scallop Patinopecten yessoensis, is described from Abashiri Bay, Hokkaido, under the name of P. variegata. It is closely related to P. websteri Hartman, a well known shell-boring worm. However, it is different in morphological and ecological characteristics from the latter species.
