2013年、2015年和2017-2019年在汉江河口观察到带状蠕虫的爆发,韩国,对当地的玻璃鳗鱼渔业造成了损害。汉江带状蠕虫已被确定为银杏(Sun&Lu,1998)不仅基于与正型和副型标本相比的形态特征,还有DNA序列与长江口附近新鲜收集的拓扑类型的比较,中国。使用六个基因标记序列(18SrRNA,28SrRNA,组蛋白H3,组蛋白H4,16SrRNA,和COI),根据从公共数据库中获得的序列,可以在其他异株中推断出Y.pratensis的系统发育位置。此分析牢固地将Y.pratensis与ApatronemertesalbibaculosaWilfert和Gibson保持了密切的关系,1974年,据报道,在世界各地以及巴拿马的野生环境中,都有包含热带淡水植物的水族馆水箱。
Outbreaks of ribbon worms observed in 2013, 2015, and 2017-2019 in the Han River Estuary, South Korea, have caused damage to local glass-eel fisheries. The Han River ribbon worms have been identified as Yininemertespratensis (Sun & Lu, 1998) based on not only morphological characteristics compared with the holotype and paratype specimens, but also DNA sequence comparison with topotypes freshly collected near the Yangtze River mouth, China. Using sequences of six gene markers (18S rRNA, 28S rRNA, histone H3, histone H4, 16S rRNA, and COI), the phylogenetic position of Y.pratensis was inferred among other heteronemerteans based on their sequences obtained from public databases. This analysis firmly placed Y.pratensis as a close relative to Apatronemertesalbimaculosa Wilfert & Gibson, 1974, which has been reported from aquarium tanks containing tropical freshwater plants in various parts of the world as well as a wild environment in Panama.
