The Taxonomy and Ecology of a New Monocelid Flatworm from Macquarie Island (Platyhelminthes, Turbellaria)
Macquarie Island (54°37’S 158°54’E) has been investigated for the occurrence of freshwater macroturbellarians. Twenty sites were examined but only one species, here ascribed to the genus Minona sensu lato of the Monocelididae, was found and it is described as Minona amnica sp. nov. Its closest taxon...
