Title: | Cirrifera genitoductus sp.n. (Platyhelminthes, Proseriata, Coelogynoporidae) from the Belgian coast, with observations on its ultrastructure and its significance for the taxonomy of the Coelogynoporidae | Authors: | JOUK, Philippe Martens, Els SCHOCKAERT, Ernest |
Issue Date: | 2007 | Publisher: | SOC ROYALE ZOOLOGIQUE BELGIQUE | Source: | BELGIAN JOURNAL OF ZOOLOGY, 137(2). p. 223-230 | Abstract: | Cirrifera genitoductus sp.n. (Platyhelminthes, Proseriata, Coelogynoporidae) is described from sandy beaches at the Belgian and Northern French coasts. The species is characterised by a cirrus with small spines, all of the same size, a prostate vesicle far behind the copulatory bulb, a long genito-intestinal duct and a pair of large gland complexes behind the genital pore. An identification key for the Cirrifera-species is given as are some data on the ultrastructure. A brief discussion on the character distribution within the Coelogynoporidae shows that the discovery of a species of Cirrifera with a genito-intestinal duct makes the demarcation of the genera even more blurred than it already is. | Notes: | Hasselt Univ, Ctr Environm Sci, Resarchgrp Biodivers Phylogeny & Populat Studies, Diepenbeek, Belgium.
