Land Planarian Indices of the World (1987-2000.....): Electronic Version LAND PLANARIAN INDICES OF THE WORLD (1987-2000.....): ELECTRONIC VERSION Compiled and Annotated by MASAHARU KAWAKATSU, ROBERT E. OGREN, EUDOXIA MARIA FROEHLICH and GEN-YU SASAKI EXPLANATORY INTRODUCTION The first article of the Land Planarian Indices Series was at first published in 1987 by Ogren & Kawakatsu: Index to the species of the genus Bipalium (Turbellaria, Tricladida, Terricola). At that time the Index was an attempt to collect 'major known taxonomic information' on all bipaliid species of the world. In 1988 (a), they published the second article entitled 'Index to the species of the genus Bipalium (Turbellaria, Tricladida, Terricola): Additions and Corrections'. In these 2 publications, almost all of the known records on bipalid species of the world were collected. These data were extracted from various literature written in many Western languages as well as 3 Asiatic languages (Japanese, Chinese and Korean). A new guideline of the editorial work for the Index was established: 1) the data were classified into each species group and listed according to alphabetical order of specific names; 2) the data in each species list were arranged by author's(s') name(s) in chronological order. In each item of the species list, the following data were given: the scien- tific name of the species used by the original author(s), his (her or their) name(s) and the year of publication, total page(s), figure(s), locality(ies), and the name(s) of country(ies) where the species was collected. The above-mentioned guideline was employed for the editorial work in prepareing Indices of the families Rhyn- chodemidae (1988b, 1989) and Geoplanidae (1990, 1991, 1992). In these further Indices Series, a new taxonomic system was proposed in some cases. Many explanatory notes were also given. Since the taxonomy of South American geoplanid species is complicated, the Part I (Geoplaninae) of the Geo- planidae Index by Ogren & Kawakatsu (1990) includes rather many erroneous citations. A new Revised Version of the Part I was published in 1992 by a cooperation of the third coauthor, Dr. E. M. Froehlich of São Paulo. That Ver- sion also included the additional and corrected data on many species of the Bipaliidae, Rhynchodemidae (Rhyncho- deminae and Microplaninae) and the Part II (Caenoplaninae and Pelmatoplaninae) of the Geoplanidae Indices. After the year 1993, Addenda I-V were published by Ogren, Kawakatsu & Froehlich (1993a, b, 1997b, 1999). The Combined taxonomic Index (1993a) and the Geographic Locus Index (1997b) are included in these Addenda. The "Errata" of the latter was published in 1998 (a). Following to the Additions and Corrections of the Index mentioned previously (1988a: Bipaliidae Index), their second list (-2) was given in 1992 (b). Until recently, the 6 lists were published (-3 to -8; 1994, 1995, 1996, 1997a, 1998b, 1999, 2000). The latest list "-9" is now prepared as a Ms. (for 2001). For the past several years, the 3 authors of the Land Planarian Indices Series had an anxious desire of the completion of the CD-ROM Version of the Series (1987-2000.... to be continue). This is now fortunately realized by a titanic effort of Mr. G.-Y. Sasaki, who was invited as a new coauthor of this series after the year 2001.

  • View of Toba Indigenous People That Inhabit the Chacoan Negrete Et Al
    Negrete et al. Zoological Studies (2015) 54:58 DOI 10.1186/s40555-015-0136-5 RESEARCH Open Access A new species of Notogynaphallia (Platyhelminthes, Geoplanidae) extends the known distribution of land planarians in Chacoan province (Chacoan subregion), South America Lisandro Negrete1,2, Ana Maria Leal-Zanchet3 and Francisco Brusa1,2* Abstract Background: The subfamily Geoplaninae (Geoplanidae) includes land planarian species of the Neotropical Region. In Argentina, the knowledge about land planarian diversity is still incipient, although this has recently increased mainly in the Atlantic Forest ecosystem. However, other regions like Chacoan forests remain virtually unexplored. Results: In this paper, we describe a new species of the genus Notogynaphallia of the Chacoan subregion. This species is characterized by a black pigmentation on the dorsum and a dark grey ventral surface. The eyes with clear halos extend to the dorsal surface. The pharynx is cylindrical. The main features of the reproductive system involve testes anterior to the ovaries, prostatic vesicle intrabulbar (with a tubular proximal portion and a globose distal portion) opening broadly in a richly folded male atrium, common glandular ovovitelline duct and female genital canal dorso-anteriorly flexed constituting a “C”, female atrium tubular proximally and widening distally. Conclusions: This is the first report of the genus Notogynaphallia in Argentina (Chacoan subregion, Neotropical Region) which increases its geographic distribution in South America. Also, as a consequence of features observed in species of the genus, we propose an emendation of the generic diagnosis. Keywords: Land flatworms; Notogynaphallia; Geoplaninae; Argentina; Chacoan subregion; Neotropical Region Background chain, land planarians are good indicator taxa in biodiver- Land planarians are free-living flatworms that live in sity and conservation studies (Sluys 1998).

  • New Zealand Flatworm
    www.nonnativespecies.org Produced by Max Wade, Vicky Ames and Kelly McKee of RPS New Zealand Flatworm Species Description Scientific name: Arthurdendyus triangulatus AKA: Artioposthia triangulata Native to: New Zealand Habitat: Gardens, nurseries, garden centres, parks, pasture and on wasteland This flatworm is very distinctive with a dark, purplish-brown upper surface with a narrow, pale buff spotted edge and pale buff underside. Many tiny eyes. Pointed at both ends, and ribbon-flat. A mature flatworm at rest is about 1 cm wide and 6 cm long but when extended can be 20 cm long and proportionally narrower. When resting, it is coiled and covered in mucus. It probably arrived in the UK during the 1960s, with specimen plants sent from New Zealand to a botanic garden. It was only found occasionally for many years, but by the early 1990s there were repeated findings in Scotland, Northern Ireland and northern England. Native to New Zealand, the flatworm is found in shady, wooded areas. Open, sunny pasture land is too hot and dry with temperatures over 20°C quickly lethal to it. New Zealand flatworms prey on earthworms, posing a potential threat to native earthworm populations. Further spread could have an impact on wild- life species dependent on earthworms (e.g. Badgers, Moles) and could have a localised deleterious effect on soil structure. For details of legislation go to www.nonnativespecies.org/legislation. Key ID Features Underside pale buff Ribbon flat Leaves a slime trail Pointed at Numerous both ends tiny eyes 60 - 200 mm long; 10 mm wide Upper surface dark, purplish-brown with a narrow, pale buff edge Completely smooth body surface Forms coils when at rest Identification throughout the year Distribution Egg capsules are laid mainly in spring but can be found all year round.

  • The Genome of Schmidtea Mediterranea and the Evolution Of
    OPEN ArtICLE doi:10.1038/nature25473 The genome of Schmidtea mediterranea and the evolution of core cellular mechanisms Markus Alexander Grohme1*, Siegfried Schloissnig2*, Andrei Rozanski1, Martin Pippel2, George Robert Young3, Sylke Winkler1, Holger Brandl1, Ian Henry1, Andreas Dahl4, Sean Powell2, Michael Hiller1,5, Eugene Myers1 & Jochen Christian Rink1 The planarian Schmidtea mediterranea is an important model for stem cell research and regeneration, but adequate genome resources for this species have been lacking. Here we report a highly contiguous genome assembly of S. mediterranea, using long-read sequencing and a de novo assembler (MARVEL) enhanced for low-complexity reads. The S. mediterranea genome is highly polymorphic and repetitive, and harbours a novel class of giant retroelements. Furthermore, the genome assembly lacks a number of highly conserved genes, including critical components of the mitotic spindle assembly checkpoint, but planarians maintain checkpoint function. Our genome assembly provides a key model system resource that will be useful for studying regeneration and the evolutionary plasticity of core cell biological mechanisms. Rapid regeneration from tiny pieces of tissue makes planarians a prime De novo long read assembly of the planarian genome model system for regeneration. Abundant adult pluripotent stem cells, In preparation for genome sequencing, we inbred the sexual strain termed neoblasts, power regeneration and the continuous turnover of S. mediterranea (Fig. 1a) for more than 17 successive sib- mating of all cell types1–3, and transplantation of a single neoblast can rescue generations in the hope of decreasing heterozygosity. We also developed a lethally irradiated animal4. Planarians therefore also constitute a a new DNA isolation protocol that meets the purity and high molecular prime model system for stem cell pluripotency and its evolutionary weight requirements of PacBio long-read sequencing12 (Extended Data underpinnings5.

Abstract Planarian flatworms have emerged as highly promising models of body regeneration due to the many stem cells scattered through their bodies. Currently, there is no consensus as to the number of stem cells active in each cycle of regeneration or the equality of their relative contributions.

  • Australian Flatworm
    Scan for more information Australian Flatworm Species Description Scientific name: Australoplana sanguinea Native to: Australia Habitat: Gardens, nurseries, garden centres, parks, moor-land, wasteland, pasture and arable land. A small terrestrial flatworm between 20-80 mm in length and 2-5 mm wide. Having a flattened or oval cross-section, orange or pinkish- orange in colour, with a pink head end and two pale grey narrow lines running down the length of the body close to the mid-line. The head end has numerous discrete tiny eyes. Australian Flatworms have been reported in Northern Ireland but records are considered to be quite low. Australian flatworms prey on earthworms, posing a potential threat to native earthworm populations. Further spread could have an impact on wildlife species dependent on earthworms (e.g. badgers, moles) and could have a localised deleterious effect on soil structure. As Austrailian flatoworms are not ordinarily resident in Northern Ireland, under the Invasive Alien Species (Enforcement and Permitting) Order (Northern Ireland) 2019 it is an offence to release or allow this species to escape into the wild. Key ID Features Does not Numerous tiny form coils eyes at head end when at rest Flattened to oval Underside in cross section pale buff Pointed at both ends Orange or pinkish- orange in colour Completely smooth body surface 20 – 80 mm long, 3 – 8 mm wide Report any sightings via; CEDaR Online Recording - https://www2.habitas.org.uk/records/ISI, iRecord app or Invasive Species Ireland website - http://invasivespeciesireland.com/report-sighting Identification throughout the year Distribution Flatworms remain similar in appearance throughout the year.

Pierre Hugh Jones & Claude Guezennec, CC BY-SA Chercheur, Natural History Museum Langues English Français In 2013, an inhabitant of Cagnes-sur-Mer, France, found a land flatworm in his garden and had the good idea to send the photograph to a network of naturalists. We then launched a citizen science survey in France to learn more – and we were not disappointed.
