Genus
Phascolosoma
Leuckart
Remarks.
Two subgenera,
Phascolosoma
(
Phascolosoma
) Leuckart
and
Phascolosoma
(
Fisherana
) Stephen
, were recognised by
Cutler (1994)
. The key difference between these two subgenera is that, whereas species of subgenus
Fisherana
have a uniform continuous layer of longitudinal muscle in the body wall, those of
Phascolosoma
sensu
stricto
have the muscle gathered in bands. Both species reported in the present study belong to subgenus
Phascolosoma
.
