New Zealand Flatworm
www.nonnativespecies.org Produced by Max Wade, Vicky Ames and Kelly McKee of RPS New Zealand Flatworm Species Description Scientific name: Arthurdendyus triangulatus AKA: Artioposthia triangulata Native to: New Zealand Habitat: Gardens, nurseries, garden centres, parks, pasture and on wasteland This flatworm is very distinctive with a dark, purplish-brown upper surface with a narrow, pale buff spotted edge and pale buff underside. Many tiny eyes. Pointed at both ends, and ribbon-flat. A mature flatworm at rest is about 1 cm wide and 6 cm long but when extended can be 20 cm long and proportionally narrower. When resting, it is coiled and covered in mucus. It probably arrived in the UK during the 1960s, with specimen plants sent from New Zealand to a botanic garden. It was only found occasionally for many years, but by the early 1990s there were repeated findings in Scotland, Northern Ireland and northern England. Native to New Zealand, the flatworm is found in shady, wooded areas. Open, sunny pasture land is too hot and dry with temperatures over 20°C quickly lethal to it. New Zealand flatworms prey on earthworms, posing a potential threat to native earthworm populations. Further spread could have an impact on wild- life species dependent on earthworms (e.g. Badgers, Moles) and could have a localised deleterious effect on soil structure.

Key ID Features Underside pale buff Ribbon flat Leaves a slime trail Pointed at Numerous both ends tiny eyes 60 - 200 mm long; 10 mm wide Upper surface dark, purplish-brown with a narrow, pale buff edge Completely smooth body surface Forms coils when at rest Identification throughout the year Distribution Egg capsules are laid mainly in spring but can be found all year round. -

Australian Flatworm
Scan for more information Australian Flatworm Species Description Scientific name: Australoplana sanguinea Native to: Australia Habitat: Gardens, nurseries, garden centres, parks, moor-land, wasteland, pasture and arable land. A small terrestrial flatworm between 20-80 mm in length and 2-5 mm wide. Having a flattened or oval cross-section, orange or pinkish- orange in colour, with a pink head end and two pale grey narrow lines running down the length of the body close to the mid-line. The head end has numerous discrete tiny eyes. Australian Flatworms have been reported in Northern Ireland but records are considered to be quite low. Australian flatworms prey on earthworms, posing a potential threat to native earthworm populations. Further spread could have an impact on wildlife species dependent on earthworms (e.g. badgers, moles) and could have a localised deleterious effect on soil structure. As Austrailian flatoworms are not ordinarily resident in Northern Ireland, under the Invasive Alien Species (Enforcement and Permitting) Order (Northern Ireland) 2019 it is an offence to release or allow this species to escape into the wild. Key ID Features Does not Numerous tiny form coils eyes at head end when at rest Flattened to oval Underside in cross section pale buff Pointed at both ends Orange or pinkish- orange in colour Completely smooth body surface 20 – 80 mm long, 3 – 8 mm wide Report any sightings via; CEDaR Online Recording - https://www2.habitas.org.uk/records/ISI, iRecord app or Invasive Species Ireland website - http://invasivespeciesireland.com/report-sighting Identification throughout the year Distribution Flatworms remain similar in appearance throughout the year. -

Bipaliines, which have their origin in warm parts of Asia, are invasive species, now widespread worldwide. However, the scientific literature is very scarce about the widespread repartition of these species, and their invasion in European countries has not been studied. Methods: In this paper, on the basis of a four year survey based on citizen science, which yielded observations from 1999 to 2017 and a total of 111 records, we provide information about the five species present in Metropolitan France and French overseas territories. We also investigated the molecular variability of cytochrome- oxidase 1 (COI) sequences of specimens. Submitted 16 November 2017 Results: Three species are reported from Metropolitan France: Bipalium kewense, 6 April 2018 Accepted Diversibipalium multilineatum, and an unnamed Diversibipalium ‘black’ species. We Published 22 May 2018 also report the presence of B. -

Land Planarian Indices of the World (1987-2000.....): Electronic Version
LAND PLANARIAN INDICES OF THE WORLD (1987-2000.....): ELECTRONIC VERSION Compiled and Annotated by MASAHARU KAWAKATSU, ROBERT E. OGREN, EUDOXIA MARIA FROEHLICH and GEN-YU SASAKI EXPLANATORY INTRODUCTION The first article of the Land Planarian Indices Series was at first published in 1987 by Ogren & Kawakatsu: Index to the species of the genus Bipalium (Turbellaria, Tricladida, Terricola). At that time the Index was an attempt to collect 'major known taxonomic information' on all bipaliid species of the world. In 1988 (a), they published the second article entitled 'Index to the species of the genus Bipalium (Turbellaria, Tricladida, Terricola): Additions and Corrections'. In these 2 publications, almost all of the known records on bipalid species of the world were collected. These data were extracted from various literature written in many Western languages as well as 3 Asiatic languages (Japanese, Chinese and Korean). A new guideline of the editorial work for the Index was established: 1) the data were classified into each species group and listed according to alphabetical order of specific names; 2) the data in each species list were arranged by author's(s') name(s) in chronological order. In each item of the species list, the following data were given: the scien- tific name of the species used by the original author(s), his (her or their) name(s) and the year of publication, total page(s), figure(s), locality(ies), and the name(s) of country(ies) where the species was collected. The above-mentioned guideline was employed for the editorial work in prepareing Indices of the families Rhyn- chodemidae (1988b, 1989) and Geoplanidae (1990, 1991, 1992). -

If you believe that this is not the case, please contact [email protected] and quote http://eprints.jcu.edu.au/24134/ Chapter 5 Systematic Account and Phylogeny ...I don't care much about working with land planarians. There are just too many of them and the older descriptions based primarily on colour are very difficult to apply to pickled specimens. Libbie Hyman in litt to Carl Pantin, early 1950 (letter in the Pantin Collection, Zoology Department, University of Cambridge, access courtesy of Dr Janet Moore) It is curious that so few Australian zoologists have concerned themselves with the study of the Land-Planarians. This is the more to be regretted inasmuch as the opportunities for collecting these animals are rapidly passing away with the clearing of the bush. Moreover, much remains to be done in the investigation of these and other Cryptozoic animals. The Land-Planarians, in particular, still demand thorough comparative anatomical investigation with a view to revising the generic classification. Dendy (1915) 5.1 INTRODUCTION TO THE FAMILIES, SUBFAMILIES & GENERA The classification of the Terricola provided in the Land Planarian Indices of the World (Ogren, Kawakatsu and others), together with the provisional classification of the Australian Geoplanidae (Winsor 1991c), are taken as the starting points for the taxonomy and systematics of the Terricola of the Australian region in this thesis. -

Pressure from invasive species 20. Pressure from invasive species – technical document – September 2020 Colin A. Harrower, Stephanie L. Rorke, Helen E. Roy Centre for Ecology & Hydrology Overview There are currently 193 invasive non-native species in Great Britain that are included within the indicator for 2020. The current indicator is the result of incremental updating of an indicator initially produced in 2014. In 2014, the first indicator was created using a 2-stage process beginning with extent estimation using a statistical process fitted to occurrence data available through the NBN Gateway which were then validated and modified, where required, by taxonomic experts. The rationale for using a statistical process to produce extent estimates was to attempt to control for the patchy nature of the occurrence data. The expert validation in 2014 determined that the extent estimates produced algorithmically typically underestimated the true extent due to much of the occurrence data not being easily available, particularly for earlier decades, and therefore most of the estimates required revision by the taxonomic experts. In 2015, the species list and the classification of extent (derived for the 2014 indicator) were reviewed and updated by taxonomic experts. The existing species list and the classification of extents were reviewed again in 2017, 2018, 2019 and 2020 to update the indicator. -
