Isodiametridae Ancylocirrus Notes

Kozloff EN 2000 (citation)- "A new genus and five new species of acoel flatworms from the Pacific coast of
North America, and resolution of some systematic problems in the families Convolutidae and Otocelididae."

"A new genus and five new species of acoel flatworms, found in marine sediments
on San Juan Island, Washington, are described. These are: Ancylocirrus gen.
nov. ornatus sp. nov. (Convolutidae); Haploposthia erythrocephala sp. nov.
(Haploposthiidae); Mecynostomum torquens sp. nov., Eumecynostomum luridum sp.
nov. (Mecynostomidae); Notocelis rubidocula sp. nov. (Otocelididae).
Raphidophallus (Convolutidae) is removed from synonymy under Conaperta.
Parotocelis luteopunctata (Otocelididae), described from the Galapagos Islands,
is transferred to Posticopora gen. nov., because the genus of which it is the
type species is preoccupied. Notocelis gullmarensis subsp. maculata
(Otocelididae), found in Hawaii, is raised to the rank of species."
A. Petrov found a species at Bamfield, British Columbia, that appears to differ from A. ornatus in structure of the copulatory organ.
