Aprostatum is a genus of flatworms belonging to the family Euplanidae. [1]
Members of Aprostatum have an elongated or oval body. Some species have well-developed marginal eyes. The penis has a sclerotised stylet. Lang's vesicle, a seminal bursa in flatworms, is also present. [2]
The following species are currently recognized in Aprostatum: [1]
Monogeneans, members of the class Monogenea, are a group of ectoparasitic flatworms commonly found on the skin, gills, or fins of fish. They have a direct lifecycle and do not require an intermediate host. Adults are hermaphrodites, meaning they have both male and female reproductive structures.
The Polycladida represents a highly diverse clade of free-living marine flatworms. They are known from the littoral to the sublittoral zone, and many species are common from coral reefs. Only a few species are found in freshwater habitats.
Acoela, or the acoels, is an order of small and simple invertebrates in the subphylum Acoelomorpha of phylum Xenacoelomorpha, a deep branching bilaterian group of animals, which resemble flatworms. Historically they were treated as an order of turbellarian flatworms.
Pseudocerotidae is a family of flatworms which includes the Bedford's flatworm. Pseudocerotidae are simple organisms categorized by their oval bodies and tentacles and bright colors. They use the cilia to glide along surfaces. Most commonly referred to as marine flatworms, closely related to the orders Macrostomorpha and Lecithoepitheliata. These organisms have very complex reproductive systems, no blood systems or organs for gas exchange, a simple brain and are hermaphroditic.
Pseudoceros is a genus of the flatworms Platyhelminthes.
Worms are many different distantly related bilateral animals that typically have a long cylindrical tube-like body, no limbs, and no eyes.
Cryptocelidae is a family of flatworms.
Nemertodermatidae is a family of wormlike animals in the phylum Acoelomorpha. They are similar to the flatworms of the phylum Platyhelminthes, and were traditionally classified as such.
Pseudoceros dimidiatus, the divided flatworm or tiger flatworm, is a species of flatworm in the genus Pseudoceros, belonging to the family Pseudocerotidae.
Euryleptidae is a family of marine polyclad flatworms.
Thysanozoon nigropapillosum is a species of polyclad flatworms belonging to the family Pseudocerotidae. Some common names include gold-speckled flatworm, marine flatworm, yellow papillae flatworm, yellow-spotted flatworm, and yellow-spotted polyclad flatworm.
Acotylea is a suborder of free-living marine turbellarian flatworms in the order Polycladida.
Cotylea is a suborder of free-living marine turbellarian flatworms in the order Polycladida.
Prosthiostomidae is a family of free-living marine polyclad flatworms in the suborder Cotylea.
Callioplanidae is a family of flatworms belonging to the order Polycladida.
Stylochocestidae is a family of polyclad flatworms belonging to the suborder Acotylea.
Kaburakia excelsa, the giant flatworm or giant leaf worm, is a species of flatworm found on the lower shore and shallow water in the eastern Pacific Ocean. It occurs on the lower shore and shallow sub-littoral zone.
Ilyplanidae is a family of flatworms belonging to the order Polycladida.
Apidioplana is a genus of flatworm belonging to the monotypic family Apidioplanidae.
Aprostatum clippertoni is a species of flatworm belonging to the family Euplanidae. It is found in the Northern Pacific Ocean.
