Turbellarian taxonomic database

Monochoerus illardatus Notes

Steinbock 1937 (citation)- page 14, 'As Professor Steuer informed me later on there were Turbellarians also in the Plankton [fishing grounds off Alexandria, Egypt]. In the haul of Station 26 from the 24th of November 1933 a species was met with which according to the description was a gray, acoel turbellarian, representing perhaps Monochoerus illardatus Löhner et Micoletsky, a species up to now found in the northwestern Adriatic only, in the Gulf of Triest, Rovigno. On account of the bad histological state an exact definition of the species is however impossible. According to Professor Steuer's statement there were also three specimens of Müller's larvae in the plankton.'
