| Summary: | Paracalviria islandica n.sp. Figs 7, 8, 9 C Synonym: Calviriidae gen. nov sp. nov. in Curini-Galletti et al. (2010). Diagnosis. Diagnosis of the genus; with about 60 atrial needles of 130–180µm. Occurrence. Iceland, Keflavik, close to the Sandgerdi Marine Centre, in the intertidal zone of a beach with medium sand (July, 1999). Material studied. Many animals studied alive, nine animals in eight whole mounts (only one female), one specimen squashed for karyology and mounted, and 10 sectioned specimens (two “adult males” and one young male; three fully developed females and two young females, two juveniles). One whole mount is designated the holotype (SMNH nr. 8098); all other material designated paratypes (UH 440-457). Derivation of the name. The beautifully arranged needles of the copulatory organ resemble those of the species of Calviria; the species name refers to the location where the species was found. Description. The animals are whitish, 5–7mm long (measured in the whole mounts); there is seemingly no ... : Published as part of Schockaert, Ernest R., Curini-Galletti, Marco, Ridder, Wouter De & Artois, Tom, 2011, On the Calviriidae Martens and Curini-Galletti, 1993 (Platyhelminthes, Proseriata), with the description of three new species, pp. 32-46 in Zootaxa 3034 on pages 41-43, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.203197 ... |
