REMARKS

While this species requires redescription and specimens were not available for study, Haliotrema paracanthi is transferred to Euryhaliotrema n. gen. based on the drawings presented in the original description. Zhukov’s (1976) drawings are unclear regarding the morphology and position of the basal bulb and the direction of the rings of the coil of the copulatory organ ( Zhukov 1976: fig. 9). Details of the internal organ systems and hook morphology in this species are wanting and its phylogenetic position within the genus is uncertain.
