Jie, 1 February 2012; 1 specimen (33 × 18 mm) (TMPL 000002); subtidal zone at Hejie, Hengchun, Pingtung County. coll. W. B. Jie, 2 February 2012. 1 specimen (24 × 16 mm) (TMPL 000003); subtidal zone at Longdong Bay, New Taipei City. coll. W. B. Jie, 6 July 2012. 1 specimen (10 × 9 mm) (TMPL 000004), subtidal rhabdites, which were concentrated more at the tip of the papillae than on the surface between the papillae (Fig. 4 A, B). These rhadites purportedly have either a defensive or a secretory role in all polyclad flatworms (Martin, 1978). Rhabdites were also present on the surface of both the male and female reproductive organs. The inner surface of the male genital atrium (Fig. 4 C) contained more rhabdites than the female pore (Fig. 4 D).	en	Jie, Wei-Ban, Kuo, Shih-Chieh, Mok, Hin-Kiu (2014): Re-description of Thysanozoon nigropapillosum (Polycladida: Pseudocerotidae) from the South China Sea, with observations on a novel pre-copulatory structure, sexual behaviour and diet.

03E687EA1914E60C4990AA255E6FFE79.taxon	distribution	Distribution and habitat. Thysanozoon nigropapillosum (Hyman, 1959) is not only abundant in Taiwan (Fig. 5 A), but probably also in the Indian Ocean and tropical western Pacific (Fig. 5 B). Gosliner et al. (1996) posted a picture of a flatworm having a white margin with yellow-tipped papillae that was labelled T. nigropapillosum (Hyman, 1959) and offered their collecting distribution including Maldives, Sri Lanka, Indonesia, New Guinea and Solomon Islands. July 2011, from 1530 hours to 1541 hours, 12 m depth, in Longdong bay (121 ° 27 ʹ 56 ʺN, 25 ° 0 ʹ 43 ʺE), northeast Taiwan. At the beginning of the encounter, two individuals circled each other. Subsequently one of the individuals extended its paired penis towards its partner and then gripped its partner’s lateral outermost margin, in a chopstick-like fashion. In this unilateral insemination, after the spermatophore has been deposited on the epidermis, the sperm donor left, without receiving any sperm from its partner (Fig. 9 A, B).	en	Jie, Wei-Ban, Kuo, Shih-Chieh, Mok, Hin-Kiu (2014): Re-description of Thysanozoon nigropapillosum (Polycladida: Pseudocerotidae) from the South China Sea, with observations on a novel pre-copulatory structure, sexual behaviour and diet.
