Abstract：
Microturbellarian flatworms comprise a diverse assemblage amongst meiofauna. These animals primarily exhibit carnivorous feeding habits, preying on various organisms, such as crustaceans, annelids and even other microturbellarians. However, details of their diet are poorly known. This study represents the first documentation of a proseriate preying upon a rhabdocoel. The proseriate was extracted from the sediment and studied alive. Within its digestive tract, structures of the reproductive systems of its prey were observed and identified as belonging to Phonorhynchopsishaegheni, a predatory turbellarian as well. No remains of any other organisms were detected. This finding underscores the relevance of Proseriata as top-level predators within the meiofaunal trophic web, a role that warrants further consideration beyond what has been previously acknowledged.
摘要：
小涡轮扁平虫在小型动物中组成多样化的组合。这些动物主要表现出食肉的食性，捕食各种生物，比如甲壳类动物，环节动物，甚至其他微涡轮动物。然而,他们的饮食细节鲜为人知。这项研究代表了对横纹肌进行捕食的第一份文献。从沉积物中提取并进行了活研究。在它的消化道内，观察到其猎物的生殖系统结构并鉴定为属于Phonorhynchopsishaegheni，也是掠夺性的头巾.没有检测到任何其他生物的残留物。这一发现强调了Proseriata作为小型营养网中顶级掠食者的相关性，这一角色值得进一步考虑，超出了先前承认的范围。
