| Within the Annelida phylum, the Histriobdellidae Family groups freshwater polychaetes sharing an ancient Gondwanic relationship; very little is known about their life histories. Here we describe the life cycle of Stratiodrilus aeglaphilus, an epibiont of the crab Aegla laevis, which inhabits rivers of central Chile. All its life stages were found associated with A. laevis. The presence of a chitinous penis and its larger size permit distinguishing males from females. The observation of larvae/embryos at different development stages allowed us determining the absence of a free-swimming larvae stage in this species; recently hatched juveniles have movements similar to those of adults. S. aeglaphilus shows direct development; different embryo development... |

| There is still doubt as to the number of species of the freshwater Chilean ichthyofauna, 64 % of which have conservation problems. One of the groups is that of the silversides of the genus Basilichthys. Three morphological species of this genus have been described in Chile with disjoint distributions: Basilichthys semotilus, B. microlepidotus and B. australis; the latter two overlap in distribution only in the Aconcagua River and are not easily distinguishable by morphological and meristic characters. In order to evaluate the efficacy of identification of these species by molecular techniques, we analyzed the sequence of 9 % of the mitochondrial DNA (Control Region and COI) of individuals from the Loa River (21°41' S) to the Valdivia River (39°50' S),... |
