Journal: Journal of Molluscan Studies

Despite the long history of meiofaunal research in Europe our knowledge of its Acochlidia-the most diverse, abundant and widespread group of interstitial slugs-is still fragmentary. Distribution ranges and modes of dispersal are unknown and taxonomic hypotheses based on traditional light-microscopical examination have never been tested against a modern integrative approach combining microanatomical techniques with molecular analyses. This study redescribes Microhedyle glandulifera Three-dimensio
