Introduction Small group of rare tiny molluscs. About 20 species are
known. Four species described by our group. Simple morphology and variable coloration bring the
difficulties for morphologists. Uncertain phylogenetic position – traditionally as a family
within Cephalaspidea. Rarely used in recent molecular phylogenetic studies. Max.
two species per study. Taxonomy:
Runcinidae and Runcinoidea – family and superfamily in traditional systematics
Runcinaceae – clade proposed by recent authorsRunciniformes – sub-order proposed in this study
The Goals To support or reject monophyly of Runcinacea. To reveal existing lineages within Runcinacea. To support or reject monophyly of ‘Runcinacea
+other lineages’ To reassess taxonomic ranks To compare new specimens with other species. To measure the levels of divergence between
studied taxa
Materials and Methods Sanger-sequenced partial COI, 16s, H3, 18s and
28s genes. Totally ca. 4400 b.p. Seq editor – BioEdit Alignments – Muscle, by eye Models, restrictions – MrModelTest ILD test - PAUP ML – PAUP, PhyML, GARLI (multigene) MCMC – MrBayes (5M generations, 4 runs,
multigene) MP – PAUP TR/TV/distance plots – DAMBE Distances - MEGA
Results ILD tests revealed strong incongruence between each pair of
genes (p=0.01)
GTR+I+Г model for each gene partition defined
Very high levels of divergence in Folmer’s COI region 11.2-27.8% within Runcinacea; 25-40% within ‘Opisthobranchia’, and 35-50% between ‘Opistobranchia’ and Neogastropod outgroup
The other four genes can also be used to distinguish the Runcinacea species at 10-30%.
Topologies Separate gene and combined dataset
produce similar topologies regardless inference method used.
Maximum Parsimony method produced poorly supported topology but resolved clades are congruent with those obtained with the other methods.
Tr and Tv to distance plots reveal high saturation in COI and H3 genes

Uncertain phylogeny of ‘Runcinida sp. n.’
Conclusions All used molecular markers can be used to clearly distinguish studied
Runcinoidea species at at east 5% level.
The genus Runcinida is not a synonym of Runcina. ‘Runcinida+Runcina’ is pararphyletic.
Runcinoidea is independent monophyletic lineage within Ethyneura. Previously proposed monophyletic lineages ‘Aplysioidea+ Runcinacea’ or ‘Cephalaspidea+ Runcinacea’ are not supported. We propose to classify them as the sub-order Runciniformes.
Four distinct monophyletic lineages within Runcinacea are revealed. The subfamilies Metaruncininae and Runcinidinae are described.
Two new species are supported with high genetic distances. Both in Metaruncininae but ‘Runcinida sp.’ is of uncertain position because of molecular data incongruence and morphology close to Runcinididae.
Recently discovered Runcinida sp. from the Sea of Japan is conspecific with R.valentinae known from Iturup island: p-distance=0.007.
