摘要

Nemertodermatida is a small taxon of marine worms, comprising only eight described species. They are charac-terised by a nemertine-like epidermis (hence the name) and a statocyst containing (mostly) two statoliths (1). The phylogenetic relationships of the taxon have been (and still are) the subject of debate. Initially, they were placed within the acoel Platyhelminthes (2), but Karling (1, 3) considered them to be substantially different from the acoels in morphology of the gut and the statocyst, and placed the taxon Nemertodermatida outside the Acoela (3). In the first phylogenetic analysis of the Platyhelminthes by Ehlers (4), Nemertodermatida formed a sister group relationship with Acoela, together forming the taxon Acoelomorpha, at that time considered to be the sister group of Rhabditophora (4). This view was followed in most subsequent morphological studies (for a review: see 5). Smith et al. (6) suggested the possible polyphyly of the taxon Platyhelminthes, based on the absence of clear synapomorphies, and viewed the Acoelomorpha as one of the three well-defined monophyletic groups within the Platyhelminthes, the two others being Catenulida and Rhabditophora. Recent molecular phylogenetic studies (7 ; 8) corroborate the polyphyly of the Platyhelminthes and show the Nemertodermatida and the Acoela in a basal position within Bilateria. The presence of the small Hox cluster in both Acoela (9) and Nemertodermatida (10) is concordant with this phylogenetic position. Based on analyses of 18S rRNA and mitochondrial genes (7) and 18S and 28S rRNA sequences (11), the taxon Acoelomorpha was dismissed because it appeared to be paraphyletic ; Nemertodermatida and Acoela are separate branches at the base of the Bilateria. A recent phylogeny based on a large number of taxa and multiple nuclear genes, however, provides support for a monophyletic Acoelomorpha, albeit also ositioned at the base of the Bilateria (12). Because of this basal phylogenetic position, the study of Nemertodermatida is important for the understanding of the characteristics of the bilaterian ancestor (11) and it makes them important study-objects for morphologists and molecular biologists alike. Note that the latest study on the phylogenetic position of Acoe-lomorpha (13) challenges their basal position and places them within the Deuterostomia, together with Xenotur-bella. In the most recent comprehensive taxonomic over-view of Nemertodermatida (14), Sterrer revealed consid-erable intraspecific variation for characters such as size, colour, presence/absence of glands, etc. Hence, species delimitation is often problematic and also cryptic diver-sity cannot be excluded, which makes nemertodermatids also interesting from a (molecular) taxonomical point of view. Regrettably, Nemertodermatida are known from a few distinct sampling spots only: the Swedish west coast, the east coast of North America, the Adriatic and the Mediterranean, which suggests that representatives of the taxon are difficult to collect.
