Leptoplanidae
Acotylea is a suborder of free-living marine turbellarian flatworms in the order Polycladida. Description As currently defined, Acotylea includes polyclads with a Lang's vesicle in the female reproductive system and the male copulatory apparatus directed backwards. When tentacles are present, they are nuchal. The eyespot groups can be nuchal, cerebral, and marginal. Taxonomy The internal classification of Acotylea has been unstable, with some genera and families constantly changing place as new molecular and morphological data are analyzed. The current classification is presented below: * Superfamily Discoceloidea ** Family Discocelidae Laidlaw, 1903 ** Family Ilyplanidae Faubel, 1983 ** Family Cryptocelidae Laidlaw, 1903 ** Family Polyposthiidae Bergendal, 1893 * Superfamily Leptoplanoidea Faubel, 1984 ** Family Candimboididae Faubel, 1983 ** Family Euplanidae Marcus & Marcus, 1966 ** Family Faubelidae Ozdikmen, 2010 ** Family Gnesiocerotidae Marcus and Marcus, 1 ...

Anocellidae
''Anocellidus'' is a genus of flatworms belonging to the order Polycladida. It is the only genus in the monotypic family Anocellidae and is represented by the single species ''Anocellidus profundus''. Description ''Anocellidus'' as a genus is distinguished from other acotylean flatworms by the lack of a true prostatic vesicle, and the fact that the male copulatory apparatus is located posterior to the male gonopore and is directed anteriorly; it is additionally distinguished via a ruffled pharynx located anteriorly with long, pointed tentacles, separate gonopores, a backwards-directed, long, pointed stylet, and the presence of spermiducal bulbs rather than a true seminal vesicle. ''A. profundus'' is whitish in color; however, the testes and ovaries are visible across the epidermis as numerous brown dots. They can reach around 13 mm in length. There are well-developed nuchal tentacles. The species completely lacks eyes. Etymology The generic name is derived from the Latin ...
