Six freshwater microturbellarian species (Platyhelminthes) in permanent wetlands of the Coastal plain of southern Brazil: new records, abundance, and distribution

Microturbellarians occur in a wide range of ecosystems, but their diversity and distribution are largely unknown. In this work, we report on the morphology, abundance, and distribution of 6 species of microturbellarians, namely <i>Baicalellia evelinae, Catenula evelinae, C. leuca, C. turgida,...

description Microturbellarians occur in a wide range of ecosystems, but their diversity and distribution are largely unknown. In this work, we report on the morphology, abundance, and distribution of 6 species of microturbellarians, namely <i>Baicalellia evelinae, Catenula evelinae, C. leuca, C. turgida, Gieysztoria chiqchi</i>, and <i>Stenostomum hemisphericum</i>. We provide photographs and schematic drawings of the specimens <i>in vivo</i>. Three of them were known only for their type localities. Most species showed low to moderate abundance and were found in a single wetland in this study. <i>Gieysztoria chiqchi</i> is reported from Brazil for the first time. All records extend the ranges of the species at least 800 km to the southeast.
