RESUMO
Mediante consulta bibliográfica e de bases de dados encontramos registros para o estado de São Paulo de 312 espécies de turbelários (incluindo Acoelomorpha, novo filo) de ambientes marinhos, límnicos e terrestres. Em 1999 haviam sido registradas aproximadamente 333 espécies; o número maior deve ser atribuído a espécies posteriormente sinonimizadas e, provavelmente, à precisão menor dos cômputos anteriores. Os dois únicos pesquisadores especialistas do grupo, trabalhando no estado, estimam, porém, um número muito maior. Há três coleções científicas abrigando turbelários, quase exclusivamente, terrestres.
ABSTRACT
A recent survey of the literature and databases on turbellarian fauna from the State of São Paulo, Brazil, yielded a total of 312 species (including Acoelomorpha, a new phylum) inhabiting marine, as well as freshwater, and terrestrial habitats. In 1999, approximately 333 species were registered. This higher number is related to a number of species synonymized thereafter, and probably related to lower accuracy of prior accounts. Nonetheless, the only two taxonomists studying this animal group in the State estimated a much higher actual number of species. In the State there are three scientific collections containing turbellarians, almost exclusively from terrestrial habitats.
