Entonomenia
Leloup, 1948
Rhopalomeniidae
with only one pair of foregut glandular organs, characterised by a duct with subepithelial/extraepithelial glandular cells (socalled type A); with separate mouth opening, without radula, with dorsoterminal sense organ, with unpaired secondary genital opening, without copulatory stylets or respiratory organs. Type species
Entonomenia atlantica
Leloup, 1948
(off
Canary Islands
,
540 m
;
holotype
as section series in MOM). Six other species originally classified under
Rhopalomenia
are herewith transferred to the restored genus, five of which were originally described by
SalviniPlawen 1978
(
E. carinata
,
E tricarinata
,
E. sertularicola
,
E. cristata
,
E. rhynchopharyngeata
) and
E. microporata
(
Handl & SalviniPlawen 2002
)
.
Urgorria
GarcíaÁlvarez & SalviniPlawen, 2001
=
Rhopalomeniidae
with only one pair of foregut glandular organs, characterised by epithelial/intraepithelial glandular cells (socalled
type
C), and with a common atriobuccal cavity; other characters as in
Rhopalomenia
above.
Type
species
Urgorria compostelana
GarcíaÁlvarez & SalviniPlawen, 2001
. The genus also includes
U. monoplicata
SalviniPlawen, 2003
.
Dinomenia
Nierstrasz, 1902
=
Rhopalomeniidae
with one pair of foregut glandular organs with subepithelial/extraepithelial glandular cells draining through a distinct duct (
type
A), with a distichous radula and with copulatory stylets; terminal sense organ present. To date only the
type
species
Dinomenia hubrechti
Nierstrasz, 1902
, is known.
Driomenia
Heath, 1911
=
Rhopalomeniidae
with one pair of foregut glandular organs with duct and subepithelial/extraepithelial glandular cells (
type
A), without terminal sense organ, pericardium with a pair of ventroanterior diverticles; other characters as in
Entonomenia
above. Only the
type
species
Driomenia pacifica
Heath, 1911
, is known.
Pruvotia
Thiele, 1894
=
Rhopalomeniidae
of somewhat uncertain status due to the presence of two (respiratory?) folds in the pallial cavity and a lack of information on foregut glandular organs; other characters as in
Driomenia
Heath. Only
the
type
species is known, described as
Proneomenia sopita
Pruvot, 1891
.
