title: Lehardyia alleithoros,sp. nov. (Turbellaria, Kalyptorhynchia) from the Coast of North Carolina, USA.
abstract: As with other high-energy beaches, those of North Carolina harbor a diverse fauna of kalyptorhynch turbellarians, and most appear to be new to science. Here, we describeLehardyia alleithoros, a new kalyptorhynch turbellarian of the Karkinorhynchidae, from 3 high-energy beach sites in North Carolina. We also report an apparent range extension forCarcharodorhynchus flavidusBrunet, 1967. These observations bring the total number of kalyptorhynch turbellarians reported from the marine interstitial environment of North Carolina to five.
