Kontikia Lyra
''Kontikia'' is a genus of land planarians native from islands in the Indo-Pacific region, but several species have been introduced elsewhere. Description The genus ''Kontikia'' includes planarians of elongate body, with a creeping sole that occupies one to two thirds of the body width. The mesenchymal musculature includes well-developed longitudinal muscles forming a ring zone around the intestine. The copulatory apparatus may or may not have a distinct penis papilla, depending on the degree of contraction of the reproductive structures. This led to an initial classification of specimens without a distinct penis papilla in another genus, ''Parakontikia''. Genetics The complete mitochondrial genome of '' Kontikia ventrolineata'' (= ''Parakontikia ventrolineata'') was described in 2020. It displays common unusual characteristics shared with ''Platydemus manokwari'', such as its colinearity, an overlap between '' ND4L'' and '' ND4'' genes and an unusually long ''cox2'' gene ...

Claudio Gilberto Froehlich (born 10 June 1927) is a Brazilian zoologist.Neglected ScienceClaudio Gilberto Froehlich Retrieved 19 February 2017. Life Froehlich was born in 1927 in São Paulo, Brazil. In 1951 he started his doctoral studies at the Universidade de São Paulo together with Eudóxia Maria de Oliveira Pinto, who later would become his wife. They both had Ernst Marcus as their advisor. Marcus suggested that they should work on the taxonomy of land planarians since it was a poorly studied but highly diverse group in the region. Later, in 1960, he received his post-doctoral degree from Lund University. After his first academic years studying land planarians, Froehlich started to work with freshwater invertebrates, especially stoneflies.Entomologistas do BrasilClaudio Gilberto Froehlich.
