Biology:Simpliciplana
Simpliciplana is a genus of flatworms in the family Anonymidae.[1][2] It is represented by the single species Simpliciplana marginata.[3] The holotype of the species was collected from Tominado Island, Tawi Tawi, Philippines.[4]
Description
Numerous small eyespots form two irregular groups arranged in the tentacular flap, while slightly larger eyespots form an almost circular cluster over the location of the brain.[4]
It is one of the few cotylean genera lacking ventral suckers, along with some members of Cestoplanidae, members of Theamatidae, Amakusaplana, and, possibly, Chromyella.[5]
Taxonomy
Although described in its original description in 1923 as a member of the family Diplopharyngeatidea,[4] in 1984, Fabel included it in the familty Anonymidae, emending the family to include other genera that, like the already included Anonymus, lacked prostatic glands, vesicles, or prostatoid organs.[2]
