Polyclad flatworms have a troubled classification history, with two contradicting systems in
use. They both rely on a ventral adhesive structure to define the suborders Acotylea and …

Background To date, mitochondrial genomes of more than one hundred flatworms
(Platyhelminthes) have been sequenced. They show a high degree of similarity and a strong …

We describe Notocomplana hagiyai sp. nov. from Ishikari Bay, Hokkaido, northern Japan.
Notocomplana hagiyai sp. nov. is characterized by i) a larger prostatic vesicle relative to the …

The first three mitochondrial (mt) genomes of endosymbiotic turbellarian flatworms are
characterised for the rhabdocoels Graffilla buccinicola, Syndesmis echinorum and S …

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

Here we describe, for the first time, the mitochondrial genome of Spirobranchus giganteus
(Annelida: Serpulidae) and compare it with all available annelid mitogenomes. The entire …

There are more than 350 species of amphipods (Crustacea) in Lake Baikal, which have
emerged predominantly through the course of endemic radiation. This group represents a …

A phylogenetic analysis of Polycladida based on two partial mitochondrial genes (cox1 and
16S) is provided. The analysis includes 30 polyclad terminals that represent species from …

A new species of polyclad flatworm, Idiostylochus tortuosus gen. nov., sp. nov.(Polycladida,
Idioplanidae), from Arcachon Bay (France) is described. This description is based on a …

The first complete mitochondrial genome of a catenulid, Stenostomum leucops, was
characterized. Illumina sequencing and 90 813 reads were utilized in the assembly …
