Smithsonian Contributions to Zoology, number 280, 56 pages, 57 figures, 1978.—A revision is presented of the planarian fauna of the Lake Ohrid area, known for its richness in endemic species with limited distribution. Apart from the already known four endemic species of Phagocata and ten species of Dendrocoelum, six new species are described: Dendrocoelum decoratum, D. dorsivittatum, D. minimum, D. albidum, D. sinisai, and D. translucidum. OFFICIAL PUBLICATION DATE is handstamped in a limited number of initial copies and is recorded in the Institution's annual report, Smithsonian Year.

A robust molecular phylogeny of the Tricladida (Platyhelminthes: Seriata) with a discussion on morphological synapomorphies.
The suborder Tricladida (Platyhelminthes: Turbellaria, Seriata) comprises most well-known species of free-living flatworms. Four infraorders are recognized: (i) the Maricola (marine planarians); (ii) the Cavernicola (a group of primarily cavernicolan planarians); (iii) the Paludicola (freshwater planarians); and (iv) the Terricola (land planarians). The phylogenetic relationships among these in...
متن کاملIntegrative taxonomy of a new species of planarian from the Lake Ohrid basin, including an analysis of biogeographical patterns in freshwater triclads from the Ohrid region (Platyhelminthes, Tricladida, Dugesiidae)
A new species of the genus Dugesia is described from the Lake Ohrid region in the western part of the Balkan Peninsula, forming the first fully documented species description for this genus in the Ohrid area. The morphological species delimitation is supported by complementary molecular, karyological, and cytogenetic data available from the literature. Therefore, species delineation is based on...
متن کاملTolerance of the planarian Dugesia tigrina (Tricladida: Turbellaria) to pesticides and insect growth regulators in a small-scale field study.
Two insect growth regulators, methoprene and a benzyl-1,3,benzodioxole (J-2931), had no detrimental effects on Dugesia tigrina under field conditions. Three other compounds, resmethrin, temephos, and cyromazine, had only minimal effects. Asexual multiplication among these planarian predators exceeded 68% when combined with Culex quinquefasciatus larvae and methoprene at different concentration ...

The New Zealand flatworm, Arthurdendyus triangulatus (formerly Artioposthia triangulata) has become established in the British Isles and the Faroe Islands and its human-mediated spread within Northern Ireland and Scotland is well documented. The geographical distributions within New Zealand of it and two related species, A. australis and A. testacea have always been assumed to reflect the natur...

Total, 94 specimens of gudgeon (Gobio ohridanus Karaman, 1924) from the Macedonian part of the Lake Ohrid were examined and 61 fishes (64.89%) were infected with parasites. The presence of 4 parasite species was established: Dactylogyrus cryptomeres f. typica (Monogenea), Cystidicoloides tenuissima and Philometra ovata (Nematoda), and Pomphorhynchus laevis (Acanthocephala). The highest prevalen...
