Extract

In the most recent monograph of the marine planarians Wilhelmi (1909) described only one new species, viz. Procerodes dohrni, which nevertheless was strikingly similar to P. lobata (Schmidt, 1861). More recently Den Hartog (1968) has described inadequately a rather similar species, P. ireneae, and the taxonomic status of these three species is now somewhat confused, making proper identification difficult. For the present paper the available material of these species has been re-examined with the view of elucidating their taxonomic status.
