Dimarcusidae is a family of triclads found mostly in freshwater habitats of caves, although at least one species, Rhodax evelinae, occurs in surface waters.[1][2] Currently the family contains only seven species distributed in five genera, although the total number of species is thought to be much higher.[3]
