| Abstract: | Two new Rhabdocoel species from the Peruvian Amazonia are described: Sergia calae n. sp. (Dalyelliidae) and Mesostoma ucamara n. sp. (Typhloplanidae). Both species were captured in the Pacaya-Samiria National Park, Loreto, Peru, with plankton-nets
dragged several times through the abundant littoral floating plant-community. This is the first record of micro-turbellarians
in this region. The discovery of these new species in the Pacaya-Samiria National Park suggests the high diversity of this
area, which up to now has remained largely unknown, increases the general knowledge of the fauna of Neotropical turbellarians. |
