Cheliplana targa ( Marcus, 1952) Karling, 1983

Synonyms. Rhinepera targa Marcus, 1952

Known distribution. Bay of Santos, Brazil ( Marcus 1952).

Material examined. None.

Remarks (summarised from literature). Marcus (1952) describes C. targa as a small species ( 0.3–0.9 mm total body length). A single testis is located ventrally, at the caudal end of the pharynx. A single efferent duct leads from the caudal end of the testis towards a seminal vesicle, which enters the proximal end of the copulatory bulb. The copulatory bulb is thick-walled, surrounded by a sheath of longitudinal muscles and contains a prostatic vesicle in its proximal part.
