摘要：
We describe Cestoplana nopperabo sp. nov. from 292- to 439-m depths in Sagami Bay, Japan. This is the eighth member of the genus, representing the first report of a bathyal polyclad from the Indo-West Pacific. Cestoplana nopperabo sp. nov. is characterized by lacking eyespots; it shows no color pattern on the dorsal surface of the body, unlike other congeners. Based on partial 28S rDNA sequence, we infer the phylogenetic position of this species among other polyclads, for which sequences were available in public databases. The molecular phylogeny demonstrates that Cestoplana nopperabo sp. nov. is sister to the rest of the cestoplanids included in the analysis.
