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.

  • Land Flatworm Community Structure in a Subtropical Deciduous Forest in Southern Brazil
    Belg. J. Zool., 140 (Suppl.): 83-90 July 2010 Land flatworm community structure in a subtropical deciduous forest in Southern Brazil Vanessa A. Baptista and Ana Maria Leal-Zanchet Graduation Program in Diversity and Management of Wildlife and Institute for Planarian Research, Universidade do Vale do Rio dos Sinos – UNISINOS, Av. Unisinos, 950, 93022-000 São Leopoldo – RS, Brazil. Corresponding author: A.M. Leal-Zanchet; e-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT. Due to their biological characteristics and habitat requirements, land planarians have been proposed as indicator taxa in biodiversity and conservation studies. Herein, we investigated spatial patterns of land flatworm communities in the three main existent vegetation types of the most significant remnant of the subtropical deciduous forest in south Brazil. The main questions were: (1) How spe- cies-rich is the study area? (2) How are community-structure attributes allocated in areas with distinct floristic composition? (3) What are the effects of soil humidity and soil organic matter content on flatworm abundance? (4) Are there seasonal differences regarding species richness? (5) Are the communities in the three types of vegetation distinct? Twenty-two flatworm species, distributed in five genera and two subfamilies, were recorded. Results indicated that: (1) species richness, evenness, abundance, and dominance in the three vegetation types are not significantly different; (2) diversity indices were higher for areas with caducifolious forest than for areas with jaboticaba trees with marginally significant differences; (3) flatworm abundance is negatively related to soil organic matter; (4) there are no significant dif- ferences in flatworm species richness throughout the year; and (5) flatworm communities in the three types of vegetation are not distinct.

The species is jet black in colour without any band or line but with a thin indistinct mid-dorsal groove. Semilunar head margin is pinkish in live condition with numerous eyes on its margin. Body length (BL) ranged from 19.00 to 45.00mm and width varied from 9.59 to 13.16% BL. Position of mouth and gonopore from anterior end ranged from 51.47 to 60.00% BL and 67.40 to 75.00 % BL respectively. Comparisons were made with its Indian as well as Bengal congeners. Salient features, distribution and biometric data of all the 29 species of Indian Bipaliid land planarians are revised thoroughly. Genus controversy in Bipaliid taxonomy is critically discussed and a proposal of only two genera Bipalium and Humbertium is suggested.

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.

  • Diet Assessment of Two Land Planarian Species Using High-Throughput Sequencing Data
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Diet assessment of two land planarian species using high- throughput sequencing data Received: 29 November 2018 Cristian Cuevas-Caballé1,2, Marta Riutort1,2 & Marta Álvarez-Presas 1,2 Accepted: 29 May 2019 Geoplanidae (Platyhelminthes: Tricladida) feed on soil invertebrates. Observations of their predatory Published: xx xx xxxx behavior in nature are scarce, and most of the information has been obtained from food preference experiments. Although these experiments are based on a wide variety of prey, this catalog is often far from being representative of the fauna present in the natural habitat of planarians. As some geoplanid species have recently become invasive, obtaining accurate knowledge about their feeding habits is crucial for the development of plans to control and prevent their expansion. Using high throughput sequencing data, we perform a metagenomic analysis to identify the in situ diet of two endemic and codistributed species of geoplanids from the Brazilian Atlantic Forest: Imbira marcusi and Cephalofexa bergi. We have tested four diferent methods of taxonomic assignment and fnd that phylogenetic- based assignment methods outperform those based on similarity. The results show that the diet of I. marcusi is restricted to earthworms, whereas C. bergi preys on spiders, harvestmen, woodlice, grasshoppers, Hymenoptera, Lepidoptera and possibly other geoplanids. Furthermore, both species change their feeding habits among the diferent sample locations. In conclusion, the integration of metagenomics with phylogenetics should be considered when establishing studies on the feeding habits of invertebrates. Land planarians (Platyhelminthes: Tricladida: Geoplanidae) inhabit moist soils around the world, with high richness levels in tropical and subtropical forests1.

The food preference of Obama anthropophila Amaral, Leal-Zanchet & Carbayo, 2015, a species that seems to be spreading across Brazil’s human-modified environments, was investigated. Extensive experiments led to the conclusion that the generalized diet of this species may have facilitated its dispersal. The analysis of 132 feeding records of 44 geoplaninid species revealed a tendency for closely related species to feed on indi- viduals from similar taxonomic groups, suggesting that in this group behavioral evolution is more conserved than phylogenetic diversification.

Bipaliines, which have their origin in warm parts of Asia, are invasive species, now widespread worldwide. However, the scientific literature is very scarce about the widespread repartition of these species, and their invasion in European countries has not been studied. Methods: In this paper, on the basis of a four year survey based on citizen science, which yielded observations from 1999 to 2017 and a total of 111 records, we provide information about the five species present in Metropolitan France and French overseas territories. We also investigated the molecular variability of cytochrome- oxidase 1 (COI) sequences of specimens. Submitted 16 November 2017 Results: Three species are reported from Metropolitan France: Bipalium kewense, 6 April 2018 Accepted Diversibipalium multilineatum, and an unnamed Diversibipalium ‘black’ species. We Published 22 May 2018 also report the presence of B.
