Remarks. Cutler & Cutler (1987) erected the subgenus Golfingia ( Spinata) on the basis of a single species, Golfingia pectinatoida Cutler & Cutler , which possesses bilobed nephridia, retractors originated close to ventral nerve cord and hooks with basal spinelets. Members of the subgenus Golfingia ( Golfingia) have unilobed nephridia, dorsolaterally displaced anterior retractors and no basal spinelets; it is the only Golfingia subgenus known from Taiwan thus far. Two species, Golfingia ( G.) margaritacea margaritacea (Sars) and Golfingia ( G.) muricaudata (Southern) are recorded for the first time from Taiwan.
