Hofstenia
Scientific classification
Kingdom:	Animalia
Phylum:	Xenacoelomorpha
Order:	Acoela
Family:	Hofsteniidae
Genus:	Hofstenia; Bock, 1923

Hofstenia, or panther worms, is a genus of acoels belonging to the family Hofsteniidae.

They are recognized for their ability to regenerate any missing tissue type and recover body axes following injury, including a functional brain during whole-body regeneration. The Hofstenia body is populated by neoblast-like cells, adult stem cells, which are necessary for Hofstenia regeneration, and are frequently studied in planarians.

Species:

Hofstenia arabiensis Beltagi & Mandura, 1991
Hofstenia atroviridis Bock, 1923
Hofstenia beltagii Steinböck, 1966
Hofstenia miamia Correa, 1960
Hofstenia minuta Palombi, 1928
