Cheliplana caeca Meixner 1938
No full textCheliplana caeca Meixner, 1938 The name Cheliplana caeca was used by Meixner (1938) to refer to a species of Cheliplana with strongly curved proboscis hooks and a thick ‘cuticle’ lining the prepharyngeal tube. As noted by Marcus (1952), who refrained from including C. caeca in his key to Karkinorhynchidae, both the male and female genital structures are unknown, making it impossible to identify the species in the future. It is therefore considered a nomen nudum.Published as part of Gobert, Stefan, Diez, Yander L., Monnens, Marlies, Reygel, Patrick, Van Steenkiste, Niels W. L., Leander, Brian S. & Artois, Tom, 2021, A revision of the genus Cheliplana de Beauchamp, 1927 (Rhabdocoela: Schizorhynchia), with the description of six new species, pp. 453-494 in Zootaxa 4970 (3) on page 486, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4970.3.2, http://zenodo.org/record/476669

Marcus on Belief and Belief in the Impossible
No full textI review but don’t endorse Marcus’ arguments that impossible beliefs are impossible. I defend her claim that belief’s objects are, in some important sense, not the bearers of truth and falsity, discuss her dispositionalism about belief, and argue it’s a good fit with the idea that belief’s objects are Russellian states of affairs.
Reviso, pero no suscribo, los argumentos de Marcus a favor de que las creencias imposibles son imposibles.
Defiendo su tesis de que los objetos de las creencias no son, en algún sentido importante, los soportes
de la verdad y la falsedad; discuto su disposicionalismo acerca de las creencias y argumento que encaja bien
con la idea de que los objetos de las creencias son estados de cosas russellianos
Taxonomy and phylogeny of the Archimonocelididae Meixner, 1938 (Platyhelminthes, Proseriata)
No full textThe family Archimonocelididae Meixner, 1938 has been revised. The family contains two subfamilies, each comprising two genera: the Archimonocelidinae with Archimonocelis Meixner, 1938 and Meidiama Marcus, 1946, and the Calviriinae subfam. nov. with Asilomaria Karling, 1966 and Calviria gen. nov. with 20, 2, 1, and 3 species, respectively, 13 of which are new to science. The type species of the family is redescribed. Material of all the Archimonocelididae genera has been studied and supplementary remarks are made on some known species. The karyotype of 14 species is described. Archimonocelis has a cosmopolitan distribution while Meidiama is restricted to the South American coast, Calviria to the Mediterranean, and Asilomaria to the Pacific North American coast. The phylogenetic relationships within the family are analysed

Pseudoceros bimarginatus Meixner 1907
No full textPseudoceros bimarginatus Meixner, 1907 (Fig. 1) Pseudoceros bimarginatum Meixner, 1907: 168 –170.— Marcus 1950: 84. Pseudoceros corallophilus Hyman, 1954: 223 –224, fig. 2.— Coleman 1990: 31; Cannon & Newman 1994 b: 83, fig. 4. Material examined. AM W. 44682, MI QLD 2400, sagitally sectioned. Description. Elongated body 17 mm long, 9 mm wide. Cerebral eyes horseshoe-shaped. Dorsal colouration: ivory white background, a mid-dorsal bright white line; three marginal bands (inner to outer): orange, black and a yellow rim (Fig. 1 A). Sucker and genital pores, all at the same distance. Seminal vesicle large and rounded, ventrodorsally oriented. Spherical prostatic vesicle with a narrow and short duct. Penis papilla, forwards oriented, with a conic stylet. Stylet wide, housed in a very deep male atrium (Fig. 1 B, C, E). Female genital complex (Fig. 1 D, E) with the characteristic configuration of the genus. Remarks. Pseudoceros bimarginatus, P. contrarius Newman & Cannon 1995, P. intermittus Newman & Cannon, 1995, and P. confusus Newman & Cannon, 1995 share a similar colour pattern (Newman & Cannon 1995) and coexist on the reefs of Eastern Australia. The characteristic order or the marginal bands (orange-black-yellow) distinguish P. bimarginatus from the other three species mentioned. Newman & Cannon (1994 b) noticed that most specimens possess a bright white mid-dorsal line and an extra marginal band inner to the orange one of the same colour, though these lines may be occasionally faint or absent; in the examined specimen the mid-dorsal line is present, but the marginal one is absent. Distribution. Previously found in the Gulf of Tadjourrah, Somalia (Meixner 1907), Djibouti (Gosliner et al. 1996), Heron Island, Australia, and Anilao, Philippines (Newman & Cannon 1994 b), Kwajalein, Marshall Islands (Newman & Cannon 1998).
