- Title
Revision of Koinocystididae (Turbellaria).
- Authors
KARLING, TOR G.
- Abstract
The revision deals with the anatomy and systematics of the known 38 species of Koinocystididae. The taxonomy within the family is revised, a key for the identification of live specimens is given and an attempt is made to reconstruct the phylogeny of genera and species on the basis of anatomical transformation series. New genera are Axiutelga. Brunetia, Getula. Groveia, Itaipusina, Legula ana Neoutelga. New species are Groveia unicornis, Itaipusa bispina, I. curvicirra, Neoutelga inermis, Rhinolasius dillonicus and Utelga pseudoheinckei from the N. American Pacific coast (the latter species also from European coasts) and Itaipusina graefei from the Elbe estuary. Acrumena massiliensis Brunet is transferred from Koinocystididae to Acrumenidae fam.n. Four species are considered to be species incertae sedis.
