Dugesia Aenigma
''Dugesia aenigma'' is a species of dugesiid triclad that inhabits freshwater bodies of Cephalonia, Greece. Preserved specimens are up to in length and in width. Phylogeny The most inclusive molecular analysis of ''Dugesia'' carried out shows that ''D. aenigma'' is closely related with other Greek species, mainly with those inhabiting the Ionian Sea The Ionian Sea ( el, Ιόνιο Πέλαγος, ''Iónio Pélagos'' ; it, Mar Ionio ; al, Deti Jon ) is an elongated bay of the Mediterranean Sea. It is connected to the Adriatic Sea to the north, and is bounded by Southern Italy, including C ....

The type genus is ''Dugesia ''Dugesia'' (pronounced, /duˈd͡ʒiʒ(i)ə/) is a genus of dugesiid triclads that contains some common representatives of the class Turbellaria. These common flatworms are found in freshwater habitats of Africa, Eurasia, and Australia. ''Duge ...'' Girard, 1850.Ball, I.

New York: McGraw-Hill New York 1974, 339-401. Description All species of Dugesiidae live in freshwater environments and have a dorsoventrally flattened body. The head usually has a somewhat triangular shape and has two eyes (except for some subterranean eyeless species). The main differences between Dugesiidae and other freshwater planarians are related to the anatomy of the eyes and the copulatory apparatus. The eye ...

Dugesia Elegans
''Dugesia'' (pronounced, /duˈd͡ʒiʒ(i)ə/) is a genus of dugesiid triclads that contains some common representatives of the class Turbellaria. These common flatworms are found in freshwater habitats of Africa, Eurasia, and Australia. ''Dugesia'' is best known to non-specialists because of its regeneration capacities. ''Dugesia'' is the type genus of the family Dugesiidae. Description ''Dugesia'' species have an elongated body with a slightly triangle-shaped head. Usually they have grey, brown or black colors on the dorsal body surface, the ventral surface uses to be paler. These animals have a couple of eyes constituted by a multicellular pigmented cup with many retinal cells to detect the amount of light in the nearby environment. Sometimes they present supernumerary eyes. At the anterior part of the body, behind the eyes level, they have two of structures called auricles that give the triangle look to the 'head' and that allow them to detect the intensity of water curr ...

Animals Described In 1984
Animals are multicellular, eukaryotic organisms in the biological kingdom Animalia. With few exceptions, animals consume organic material, breathe oxygen, are able to move, can reproduce sexually, and go through an ontogenetic stage in which their body consists of a hollow sphere of cells, the blastula, during embryonic development. Over 1.5 million living animal species have been described—of which around 1 million are insects—but it has been estimated there are over 7 million animal species in total. Animals range in length from to . They have complex interactions with each other and their environments, forming intricate food webs. The scientific study of animals is known as zoology. Most living animal species are in Bilateria, a clade whose members have a bilaterally symmetric body plan. The Bilateria include the protostomes, containing animals such as nematodes, arthropods, flatworms, annelids and molluscs, and the deuterostomes, containing the echino ...

Dugesia Sagitta
''Dugesia sagitta'' is a species of dugesiid triclad that inhabits the rivers of Corfu, Greece. The specimens of this species are up to long and wide.De Vries, E. J., 1984. On the species of the ''Dugesia gonocephala'' group (Platyhelminthes, Turbellaria, Tricladida) from Greece. Bijdragen tot de Dierkunde 54:101-126 In 1925 Komarek synonymized ''Dugesia sagitta'' (then ''Planaria sagitta'') with '' D. gonocephala'',Komárek, J., 1925. Die O. Schmidt'schen Süsswassertricladen von Corfu und Cephalonia, gesammelt von Professor Wilhelmi. '' Zool. Anz.'', 63:322-328. because the morphological description given by Schmidt when the species was named in 1861 was not accurate. In 1984 ''D. sagitta'' was back from the synonymization thanks to the contribution of a more accurate morphological description done by de Vries. In 1861 Schmidt also described ''D. sagitta'' from Cephalonia Kefalonia or Cephalonia ( el, Κεφαλονιά), formerly also known as Kefallinia or Kephallenia ...
