Pseudobiceros rubrocinctus ( Schmarda, 1859)

Taxonomic remarks. This species was originally described as Eurylepta rubrocincta ( Schmarda 1859) and its genus placement became subject of further discussion (Diesing 1962, Lang 1884). The original description stated that the pharynx is cylindrical, but later drawing ( Stummer-Traunfels 1933) of the material showed it was lacking from the pharynx pouch. The species was placed in Pseudoceros by Stummer-Traunfels (1933), who also showed it presents two male gonopores. This information was listed by Marcus (1950) and later Faubel (1984) transferred the species to Pseudobiceros . However, it is not present in Newman & Cannon’s (1994, 1997) revisions. Here we support Faubel’s decision and list it as a valid species.
