Nurse FR (1955) Palombiella stephensoni Westblad, a marine Triclad from Banks Peninsula, New Zealand. Transactions R.Soc.New Zealand 82:1193-1194. |
Abstract / Notes
Palombiella stephensoni was collected from Menzies Bay and Governor's Bay, Banks Peninsula. It is found in the intertidal zone of a rocky shore, both underneath stones and in the wet crevices of larger rocks at half tide. It corresponds in most respects to the description given by Westblad of P. stephensoni. The differences between the specimens described by Westblad and the New Zealand specimens--viz., number of testes and shape of the front end are not considered by the writer sufficient for the creation of a new species.
