Résumé

Polycladida are the only free-living flatworms with a planktonic larval stage in some species. Currently, it is not clear if a larval stage is ancestral in polyclads, and which type of larva that would be. Known polyclad larvae are Müller's larva, Kato's larva and Goette's larva, differing by body shape and the number of lobes and eyes. A valuable character for the comparison and characterisation of polyclad larval types is the ultrastructural composition of the apical organ. This organ is situated at the anterior pole of the larva and is associated with at least one ciliary tuft. The larval apical organ of Theama mediterranea features two multiciliated apical tuft sensory cells. Six unfurcated apical tuft gland cell necks are sandwiched between the apical tuft sensory cells and two anchor cells and have their cell bodies located lateral to the brain. Another type of apical gland cell necks is embedded in the anchor cells. Ventral to the apical tuft, ciliated sensory neurons are present, which are neighbouring the cell necks of two furcated apical tuft gland cells. Based on the ultrastructural organisation of the apical organ and other morphological features, like a laterally flattened wedge-shaped body and three very small lobes, we recognise the larva of T. mediterranea as a new larval type, which we name Curini-Galletti's larva after its first discoverer. The ultrastructural similarities of the apical organ in different polyclad larvae support their possible homology, that is, all polyclad larvae have likely evolved from a common larva.
