Abstract / Notes
The description of a new genus and species, F. apelti, from sublittoral sediments of the North Sea, is given. A statocyst containing 2 statoliths and a true intestine with mucus-cells (Koernerkolben) confirm the assignment of this species to the order Nemertodermatida Ax 1961 and family Nemertodermatidae Steinboeck 1930. The presence of a longitudinally arranged flagellar organ in the 1st 1/3 of the body necessiated the establishment of a new genus.
