TTX-Bearing Planocerid Flatworm (Platyhelminthes: Acotylea) in the Ryukyu Islands, Japan [PDF]
Marine Drugs, 2018 Polyclad flatworms comprise a highly diverse and cosmopolitan group of marine turbellarians. Although some species of the genera Planocera and Stylochoplana are known to be tetrodotoxin (TTX)-bearing, there are few new reports.

The Ultrastructure of the Apical Organ of the Goette's Larvae of the Polyclad Flatworm Stylochus pilidium Indicates Homology Between Polyclad Larvae. [PDF]
Cell Biol IntABSTRACT Polyclad flatworms exhibit both direct and indirect development, with various larval types observed, including Müller's larva, Kato's larva, Goette's larva and Curini‐Galletti's larva. The different larval types are distinguished by shape, number of eyes and number of lobes.

Put a tiger in your tank: the polyclad flatworm Maritigrella crozieri as a proposed model for evo-devo. [PDF]
Evodevo, 2013 Polyclad flatworms are an early branching clade within the rhabditophoran Platyhelminthes. They provide an interesting system with which to explore the evolution of development within Platyhelminthes and amongst Spiralia (Lophotrochozoa).
