New semiterrestrial species of Protoplanellinae (Turbellaria, Typhloplanidae) associated with a submontane stream.

Abstract / Notes

Two new species of the genera Chorizogynopora Reis and Adenocerca Reis. were discovered in the small Italian
stream Fosso contesora, Apennines. C. italica sp. nov. differs from the other representatives of the genus by
the presence of thornlets in the copulatory bursa bulb. Differentiating characters of A. minima sp. nov. are
the following: cirrus armed with big spines at the proximal end, small body size and lack of the spatula-like
tail region. The new species live in humid habitats within the stream bed, though not within reach of the
water.
