Symsagittifera smaragdina sp. nov.: a new acoel (Acoela: Acoelomorpha) from the Mediterranean Sea.
Zootaxa 1085: 33-45

Abstract / Notes

From a survey of the interstitial fauna at Giglio, Italy, the new species Symsagittifera smaragdina sp. nov.,
(Sagittiferidae) is described. We herein transfer the genus Praesagittifera and its three species P. gracilis
(Yamasu, 1982), P. naikaiensis (Yamasu, 1982), and P. shikoki Kostenko & Mamkaev, 1990 to the family
Convolutidae. In addition the diagnosis for the family Sagittiferidae is revised to include only those
species possessing sagittocysts in adult specimens.
