Two conflicting morphological approaches to polyclad systematics highlight the relevance of
molecular data for resolving the interrelationships of Polycladida. In the present study …

Using 28S ribosomal DNA sequences, we inferred the internal relationships of the order
Polycladida. We identified morphological characters for clade support when possible …

Acotylea is a suborder of Polycladida (Rhabditophora, Platyhelminthes) characterized by
lack of a cotyl (sucker-like structure) on the ventral surface of the body. We newly determined …

Flatworms of the Order Polycladida are a group of free-living invertebrates found in a
diversity of marine habitats, with over 800 species described worldwide. Marine flatworms …

Most of the European polyclad species were described after material was collected from the
Gulf of Naples, Italy, which was compiled in the renowned monograph of Arnold Lang in …

The close relationship between a polyclad (Platyhelminthes, Rhabditophora, Polycladida)
and the mesophotic Atlantic–Mediterranean black coral Antipathella subpinnata (Ellis & …

Seven new records of cotylean flatworms belonging to two families and four genera were
identified from Israel collected in the eastern Mediterranean Sea and the northern Red Sea …

Platyhelminthes (flatworms) are a diverse invertebrate phylum useful for exploring life-
history evolution. Within Platyhelminthes, only two clades develop through a larval stage …

The systematics and distribution of the order Polycladida within the Macaronesian
archipelagos are analysed. New species (Marcusia alba sp. nov., Prostheceraeus …

We describe a new species of polyclad flatworm, Paraplehniaseisuiaesp. nov., from 298–
310 m depths in the Sea of Kumano, West Pacific, Japan. Paraplehniaseisuiaesp. nov. is …
