Abstract
Summary The genus Limapontia is included in the family Stilileridae since species of both taxa display in their reproductive systems a common pattern which is described in detail for Ercolania margaritae and its main features are noted in Calliopaea oophaga. Placida dendritica, and three limapontiid species. The reproductive System of Hermaea bifida shows that the genus is related to the Caliphyllidae; that of Alderia modesta confirms the status of the family Aideriidae. Pseudo-diauly is defined and a provisional classification of the Stiligeridae is presented to give due prominence to the internal anatomy of the species.Keywords
