Abstract / Notes

"An account is given of new distributional records and the taxonomy of nine species of marine triclad,
including the description of two new species. After more than 100 years of uncertainty, the paper resolves the
taxonomic status of the enigmatic nominal species Procerodes solowetzkianus Sabussow, 1900. The study
concludes with a biogeographic analysis of all species of marine planarian by documenting patterns of species
richness on an equal area grid map of the world."
