Abstract / Notes
This paper describes two new species of two genera of polyclad flatworms found in the Iberian Peninsula, Parviplana and Phaenoplana. Parviplana jeronimoi sp. nov. is a small-sized polyclad with yellowish-brown background colour and pale yellow ventral body; gonopores well separated, with corrugated ventral body wall between them; and prostatic vesicle with a penis papilla surrounded by a penis sheath, both housed in a wide male atrium. Phaenoplana caetaria sp. nov. is characterised by a yellowish-brown dorsal body, without tentacles, ejaculatory duct projects inside the prostatic vesicle, spherical prostatic vesicle, twisted penis rod, well-developed male atrium and elongated small Lang’s vesicle. This is the first record of the genera Parviplana and Phaenoplana in Europe, as well as in the Eastern Atlantic.
