“…The pharynx is cylindrical in N. garua, N. quinquestriata and N. andina (Du BoisReymond Marcus 1951;Hyman 1962;Carbayo 2003) and seems to vary from cylindrical to bell-shaped in N. atra (Froehlich 1956;Carbayo 2003). Two of these species, N. atra and N. andina, have some peculiarities in their genital anatomy in relation to other species of the genus, as already commented by Froehlich and Leal-Zanchet (2003). The genital anatomy is unknown in N. quinquestriata, since the single studied specimen was in an initial stage of maturation (Hyman 1962;Carbayo 2003).…”

“…The genus Notogynaphallia Ogren & Kawakatsu, 1990, as originally proposed, included 23 species which could clearly be distinguished in at least two groups Froehlich 2001, 2006;Froehlich and Leal-Zanchet 2003). Carbayo (2010) removed six species, which have striped dorsum, dorsal eyes and an extrabulbar prostatic vesicle to a new genus named Luteostriata Carbayo, 2010.…”

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.

FROEHLICH, E.M. 2008. State of knowledge of the macroturbellarians (Platyhelminthes) from Brazil. Biota Neotrop. 8(4): http://www.biotaneotropica.org.br/v8n4/en/abstract?thematicreview+bn01908042008. Abstract:In the last decades, international efforts have increased, with the aim of acquiring greater knowledge on worldwide biodiversity and to propose adequate conservation policies. Brazil has joined in these efforts, as is shown by recent publications on the state of knowledge of several taxa of organisms. The macroturbellarians (Polycladida and Tricladida, Platyhelminthes) are part of one of the less studied faunal groups, not only in Brazil but also in other regions of the world. In the present study we inventoried the knowledge on the diversity of Brazilian macroturbellarians and make a comparison with that from the rest of the world. We also analyze the accomplishments of Brazilian taxonomists dealing with macroturbellarians, with regard to the world context. Our results show that almost all of the 246 described species are from the South-eastern and Southern regions. The number of species will increase significantly when new samples are undertaken in biomes and regions still little or non-sampled, as well as in already explored areas. Brazil is relatively well provided with specialists in relation to other countries. Nonetheless, in view of the high numbers of estimated diversity, new samples should concur with the academic formation of new taxonomists. Keywords: Turbellaria, Tricladida, Polycladida, biodiversity. CARBAYO, F. & FROEHLICH, E.M. 2008. Estado do conhecimento dos macroturbelários(Platyhelminthes) do Brasil. Biota Neotrop. 8(4): http://www.biotaneotropica.org.br/v8n4/pt/abstract?thematicreview+bn01908042008.Resumo: Nas últimas décadas tem crescido o esforço internacional para conhecer a biodiversidade mundial visando a criação de políticas públicas de conservação. O Brasil vem participando deste esforço, como evidenciam as recentes publicações sobre o estado do conhecimento de vários táxons de organismos. Os macroturbelários (Polycladida e Tricladida, Platyhelminthes) fazem parte da fauna mundialmente menos estudada. Neste trabalho inventariamos por regiões a diversidade da fauna brasileira conhecida de macroturbelários e comparamos esta diversidade com a do resto do mundo. Analisamos também a atividade dos taxonomistas brasileiros do grupo no contexto mundial. Os resultados mostram que praticamente a totalidade das 246 espécies nominais descritas procede das regiões Sudeste e Sul. O número de espécies deverá aumentar significativamente quando forem feitas novas coletas, tanto em biomas e regiões ainda pouco ou nada explorados quanto nas áreas já amostradas. O Brasil está, relativamente a outros países, bem provido de especialistas. No entanto, em face da grande diversidade estimada, as amostragens deveriam ocorrer concomitantemente com a formação de novos especialistas. Palavras-chave: Turbellaria, Tricladida, Polycladida, biodiversidade.

“…Naquela ocasião não foi feito um levantamento da fauna de ambientes terrestres, constando de 52 espécies, o que elevaria para 333 o número total de espécies nominais conhecidas para o estado. Após 1999 houve apenas mais um registro de espécie terrestre nativa, Notogynaphallia ernesti Leal-Zanchet & Froehlich, 2003, além de uma espécie introduzida, e mais 12 espécies do filo Acoelomorpha (Hooge & Rocha 2006). Posteriormente, Carbayo et al (2009) contabilizaram 317 espécies para o estado.…”

A recent survey of the literature and databases on turbellarian fauna from the State of São Paulo, Brazil, yielded a total of 312 species (including Acoelomorpha, a new phylum) inhabiting marine, as well as freshwater, and terrestrial habitats. In 1999, approximately 333 species were registered. This higher number is related to a number of species synonymized thereafter, and probably related to lower accuracy of prior accounts. Nonetheless, the only two taxonomists studying this animal group in the State estimated a much higher actual number of species. In the State there are three scientific collections containing turbellarians, almost exclusively from terrestrial habitats.
