Three Pseudocerotidae species (Platyhelminthes, Polycladida, Cotylea) from the Argentinean coast.
Zootaxa Vol. 2990: 30-44

Abstract / Notes

"Three species of flatworms, Phrikoceros mopsus (Marcus, 1952), Thysanozoon brocchii (Risso, 1818) and
Thysanozoon mirtae sp. nov., are described from specimens collected from shallow rocky shores of Mar del
Plata
harbour, in the south- western Atlantic. P. mopsus had been described as living in the coasts of Brazil and
southern Patagonia. T. brocchii has a more extensive known distribution, from the Mediterranean to the coasts
of Brazil and the Argentinean Patagonia. Their morphological variation is here recorded and discussed.
Thysanozoon mirtae sp. nov. is characterized by its colour pattern, colourless tentacles, and the presence of
well developed spermiducal vesicles and a strong parenchymatic musculature."
