A new genus of marine chaetonotids (Gastrotricha), with a description of two new species from Greenland and Denmark
Two new marine species of Gastrotricha: Chaetonotidae are described from West Greenland and Denmark. Some peculiar features suggest the affiliation of the two species to a new genus, for which the name Diuronotus is proposed. The affinity of these gastrotrichs with species of Musellifer , the only g...
