| Abstract: | The freshwater hoplonemertean genus Prostoma is critically reviewed and revised and a new species Prostoma kolasai sp. nov., is described. All the freshwater nemerteans of the world are compared and contrasted, with reference to those common morphological characters which may be related to the colonization of freshwater habitats. A key to the world freshwater nemerteans is provided. |
