摘要

The organisations of two hitherto anatomically not investigated members of the Philinoglossidae, Abavopsis latosoleata Salvini-Plawen and Philinoglossa praelongata Salvini-Plawen, are described. The differences and similarities of both species compared with the other members of the family are presented. Accordingly, A. latosoleata resembles Pluscula cuica Marcus, 1953 in its midgut system and genital organs, but is clearly separated from this species among others by the presence of eyes, by a true penis formation and by the lack of a shell vestige. Ph. praelongata fits well into the diagnosis of its genus. It differs from all other congeners, however, by a pair of anterior foregut glands and by still distinctly separate subintestinal and visceral ganglia; in addition, certain characters respectively separate Ph. praelongata from each other species.
