Abstract
We describe a new genus of dalytyphloplanid rhabdocoels, with seven new species. Orostylis gen. nov. has a unique
combination of characters including the presence of a sclerotised stylet, an anteriorly positioned male copulatory organ
with the male genital pore in the buccal cavity, and the absence of an oviduct. The ovary empties directly into the intestinal
lumen. Orostylis dohae sp. nov., Orostylis asinaraensis sp. nov., Orostylis caecus sp. nov., Orostylis distortus sp. nov.,
Orostylis donanae sp. nov., Orostylis gallicus sp. nov., and Orostylis timucuorum sp. nov. are distinguished from each
other by the structure of the sclerotised parts of the male copulatory organ. Molecular and morphological evidence place
the new genus in Neodalyellida Willems et al. 2006, and similarities with other taxa are discussed.
