Udeina Michaelsen 1910

Description

Genus Udeina Michaelsen, 1910 emend. Plisko, 2004

Holoscolex Ude, 1905: 421 (preoccupied by Cognetti de Martiis 1904).

Udeina Michaelsen, 1910: 53.

Yagansia [partim] Michaelsen, 1899b: 237.

Udeina Michaelsen, 1910: 53, 1912: 4; Stephenson 1930: 671, 828; Pickford 1937: 416; Reynolds & Cook 1976: 62; Plisko 2004: 293; Blakemore 2008: 6.

Udeina Michaelsen, 1910 (applied for several species of Parachilota): Ljungström 1969: 370, Ljungström 1972b: 110.

Udeina Michaelsen 1890 [printing error for 1910]: Zicsi 1998: 443.

Type species. Yagansia kinbergi Michaelsen, 1899b: 443.

Remarks. Ljungström (1969, 1972b) understood the balantine reduction in Udeina species as a variation occurring between avesiculate, acanthodrilinae species accredited by Pickford (1937) to Parachilota. Consequently, when describing new avesiculate species he did not make distinction between acanthodrilinae or balantine features and all his new species were placed in the genus Udeina Michaelsen, 1910. The majority of these species belong to genus Parachilota Pickford, 1937 (see above and Plisko 2004, 2008).
