Phylogenetic Relationships and Taxonomic Position of the Ribbon Worms of the Genus Parahubrechtia (Nemertea, Palaeonemertea) with Descriptions of Two New Species.

ABSTRACT: The genus Parahubrechtia Gibson and Sundberg, 1999 was first described within the family Hubrechtiidae (class Pilidiophora) and subsequently transferred to the family Callineridae (class Palaeonemertea). Here we describe two new species, Parahubrechtia rayi sp. nov. from the Sea of Japan (Russia) and P. peri sp. nov. from the South China Sea (China). A phylogenetic analysis based on partial sequences of five nuclear and mitochondrial gene regions, 18S rRNA, 28S rRNA, histone H3, 16S rRNA, and COI, has confirmed the monophyly of the genus Parahubrechtia, and indicated a close relationship to Callinera Bergendal, 1900, whose monophyly is not confirmed. Both genera belong to the family Tubulanidae, with its junior synonym being Ca
