Pseudobiceros Murinus
''Pseudobiceros'' is a genus of flatworms. Like all flatworms, Pseudobiceros are hermaphrodites. This particular genus engages in penis fencing. When the "winner" touches its penis to the "skin" of the other, insemination occurs, and the "loser" has to bear the burden of motherhood. Species The following species are recognised in the genus ''Pseudobiceros'': *'' Pseudobiceros apricus'' Newman & Cannon, 1994 *'' Pseudobiceros bajae'' (Hyman, 1953) *''Pseudobiceros bedfordi'' (Laidlaw, 1903) *'' Pseudobiceros brogani'' Newman & Cannon, 1997 *'' Pseudobiceros caribbensis'' Bolanos, Quiroga & Litvaitis, 2007 *'' Pseudobiceros cinereus'' (Palombi, 1931) *'' Pseudobiceros damawan'' Newman & Cannon, 1994 *'' Pseudobiceros dendriticus'' (Prudhoe, 1989) *'' Pseudobiceros flavocanthus'' Newman & Cannon, 1994 *'' Pseudobiceros flavolineatus'' (Prudhoe, 1989) *''Pseudobiceros flowersi'' Newman & Cannon, 1997 *'' Pseudobiceros fulgor'' Newman & Cannon, 1994 *'' Pseudobiceros fulvogriseus'' (Hy ...

Pseudobiceros Gloriosus
''Pseudobiceros gloriosus'' (common name: the Glorious flatworm) is a benthic marine Polycladida, flatworm species that belongs to the Pseudocerotidae family. It is typically found in the tropical Indo-Pacific, from Eastern Africa to Micronesia, in the top or slope of reefs. It can be up to 3 in. (7.6 cm.) in length, and feeds on a multitude of invertebrates as gastropods and small crustaceans by engulfing their prey whole. Physical characteristics The body is flat, long and quite large. The background color is black with a velvety appearance. The body's margin is ornated with bands: the inner is wide and orange, the middle is narrow and pink and outer is a dark burgundy rim. The pseudotentacles have only the orange line. Some of the larger specimens can have a narrow pink median line, starting close to the cerebral eyespots and ending before the posterior margin. The body is slightly raised on the longitudinal median line and there are two square pseudotentacles with few ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Pseudobiceros Hancockanus
''Pseudobiceros hancockanus'' is a species of hermaphroditic marine flatworm in the family Pseudocerotidae. It is also known as Hancock's flatworm. Description According to the ''Baensch Marine Atlas,'' "''P. hancockanus'' is intense blue to black with white and orange peripheral bands and a purple fringe. The two short cephalic antennaie are easily overlooked because they are the same color as the body. Inferiorly, this species is purple with a medial line." ''P. hancockanus'' is very similar in appearance to '' P. uniarborensis'', although the margin of ''P. uniarborensis'' is translucent gray with a white line only on the outside, while the margin of ''P. hancockanus'' is pure bright white. It can grow up to 14 cm (5.5 inch) in length. Habitat and distribution ''Pseudobiceros hancockanus'' lives in warm seas, sometimes on coral reefs, other times among coral fragments or stones. It has been observed near such places as Indonesia, Fiji, and Kenya. Diet It is t ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
