Comments : (1) It is an aberrent ctenophore first discovered by Korotneff (1886) and later worked by Willey (1896), Dawyboff (1929) and Komai (1934). (2) Body consists of flattened oval, central thick portion and two rounded, thin lobes in the sagittal plane. gastrovascular (3) It measures 5 to 8 mm in the tentacular plane canal and coloured dorsally, mostly olive-green, Peripheral brown or reddish. It reproduces asexually. gevrevensar (4) Between the lobes of the anterior notch, there canal is a long tentacle giving irregular side branches. Main tentacle arise from base covered by tentacular sheath. right tobe of body (5) There are 8 short comb rows of several plates connected to statocyst by ciliated furrows. (6) Oral surface is characterised by everted pharynx, gastrovascular canal and peripheral network of gastrovascular canals. (7) Anus present on left lobe. (8) It reproduces asexually. Special features : At the time of discovery of Cfenoplana and Coeloplana they were considered by some zoologists as connecting links between coelenterates and flatworms; but their structural details show that they are simply modified creeping ctenophores. Identification : Besides above characters, main tentacle has several side branches and hence it is Ctenoplana. Classification : Same as in Coeloplana. 70. Tjalfiella Genus............. Tjalfiella Habit and habitat : Tjalfiella is another flattened, creeping, practically sessile ctenophore (Fig. 70). Distribution : It is found in Greenland on the pennatulid Umbellula. Comments : (1) Body is flattened in the oral aboral direction and elongated in the tentacular axis with a simple tentacle with a base. (2) Each end is upturned and fused at the edges to form a tube or ‘chimney’, through tentacle extension. (3) Chimney is continued with pharyngeal cavity. (4) Statocyst is found on the upper surface.
