A new species of polyclad flatworm, gen. nov., sp. nov. (Polycladida, Idioplanidae), from Arcachon Bay (France) is described. This description is based on a morphological analysis and a molecular analysis using partial sequences of the 28S and cytochrome Oxidase I () genes. After the molecular analysis gen. nov. appears to be the second genus of the Family Idioplanidae and closely related to the family Latocestidae as well as the genera and . The molecular data revealed that the new species may belong to an Indonesian or Indo-Pacific family, closely related to genera with origins in South Pacific Ocean waters. This species was found feeding on the oysters and mussels of the Arcachon farms.Read less <
