abstract = {Acoela is a small group of microscopic marine worms that live interstitially in sandy or
muddy sediments. Although Acoela is an abundant group of the meiofauna knowledge of
their diversity is incomplete. The Swedish fauna with 66 nominal species is one of the best
studied in the world. Despite this new species and species new to the area are still found in
Swedish waters. In this study, we describe four new species belonging to the family Isodiametridae:
Archaphanostoma fontaneti sp. n., Archaphanostoma occulta sp. n., Archaphanostoma
sublittoralis sp. n. and Archaphanostoma ylvae sp. n. The new species were collected on the
Swedish west coast and in northern Germany during 2011. Each description is accompanied
by high-quality drawings and microphotographs. Nucleotide sequences for the ribosomal
genes 18S rRNA and 28S rRNA as well as for the mitochondrial COI mtDNA gene have
been determined for the new species and used in Bayesian and maximum-likelihood analyses
to further support their classication. Diagnostic molecular characters are presented for
each species, and we use Bayesian methods and statistical parsimony to delimit the new species
within Archaphanostoma. We also use species of Archaphanostoma to test patterns of acoel
diversity.}
