Sterrer W 1966 (citation)- brief announcement of species of Nemertoderma- gives history of genus and lists three species with illustrations but no other names. Tyler S, Rieger RM 1977 (citation)- used species in studying ultrastructure of cilia- calls them sp. A,B, C and D. A- deep subtidal, North Carolina, USA 20-60 m (similar to n sp II of Adriatic) B- shallow subtidal, North Carolina, USA- similar to N. psammicola, Riedl from Adriatic C- subtidal- Red Sea D- 800 meters, off North Carolina, USA coast. Argues for Acoela and Nemertodermatida relationship- flagella with 9+2, also intestine like Acoela. Faubel A 1977 (citation)- species in list p. 61
Ehlers U (citation)-"Frontal glandular and sensory structures in Nemertoderma (Nemertodermatida) and Paratomella (Acoela): ultrastructure and phylogenetic implications for the monophyly of the Euplathelminthes". Nemertoderma sp. B, and Paratomella rubra used.
