ABSTRACT

Dendrocoelum dani n. sp. is recorded from two sites in northern Israel, Dan and Baniass. D. dani is characterised by the presence of several pairs of eyes; a large and well differentiated adenodactyl, much larger than the short conical penis; and the absence of a bursa copulatrix which is replaced by bursal-intestinal communications. D. dani is diploid with 16 pairs of mitotic chromosomes. Sexual reproduction occurs throughout the year at temperatures lower than 18°C. Asexual reproduction is unknown.
