Designation of a lectotype for Pseudoceros kylie Newman & Cannon, 1998 (Platyhelminthes, Polycladida, Pseudocerotidae)

چکیده
Recently, we have been examining the literature relevant to Australian “Turbellaria” (Phylum Platyhelminthes) and have noticed that there was an omission in the paper of Newman & Cannon (1998). In this work, Newman & Cannon proposed several new species of Pseudoceros Lang, 1884. There appears to have been an oversight in the typification of one species, Pseudoceros kylie Newman & Cannon, 1998, in that no types were officially designated. Here we recommend new types, which we propose to designate as lectotype and paralectotypes, based on the material examined by Newman & Cannon in their description. All of this material is deposited currently in the Queensland Museum, Australia.

Species Variation and Diversity
Polyclad flatworms resemble a taxon with an incredible diversity in tropical waters (Newman & Cannon, 1994; see section: Taxonomy). For quite a long time, the colour pattern of the splendidly coloured worms alone has been considered sufficient for their classification (Hyman, 1954, 1959). However, it has been shown that for identification of many species this is not enough for a reliable identi...

متن کاملTaxonomy of Cotylea (Platyhelminthes: Polycladida) from Cabo Frio, southeastern Brazil, with the description of a new species.
Polyclads are free-living Platyhelminthes with a simple, dorsoventrally flattened body and a much ramified intestine. In Brazil, 66 species are reported; only three from Rio de Janeiro State (RJ). The main objective of this study is to describe and illustrate coloration pattern, external morphology, reproductive system morphology and, when possible, biological and ecological aspects of species ...
متن کاملContribution to the knowledge of cotylean flatworms (Turbellaria, Polycladida) from Iranian coasts: Introducing a new species, with remarks on new records.
Very little information is available regarding marine free-living flatworms not only from Iran, but throughout the countries surrounding the Persian Gulf and the Gulf of Oman. The present study first introduces a new euryleptid species, and then reports four pseudocerotid polyclads which inhabit Iranian shallow rocky shores of the Persian Gulf and the Gulf of Oman. Maritigrella makranica sp. no...
