Terrestrial planarians found in a plant nursery in Spain in 2012 are described as a new species, . Dorsally they are mahogany brown with a cream median line. Ventrally they are pastel turquoise fading to brown laterally. Molecular data indicate that they are a member of the genus , but that they differ from other species found in Europe. One mature specimen has been partially sectioned, and the musculature and copulatory apparatus is described, confirming the generic placement but distinguishing the species from other members of the genus. It is probable that the species originates from Australia.
2012年在西班牙一家植物苗圃中发现的陆生涡虫被描述为一个新物种。它们背部呈红褐色,有一条奶油色中线。腹部呈淡粉蓝色,向两侧逐渐变为褐色。分子数据表明它们是该属的一个成员,但与在欧洲发现的其他该属物种不同。已对一个成熟标本进行了部分切片,并描述了其肌肉组织和交配器官,证实了其属的归属,但将该物种与该属的其他成员区分开来。该物种可能原产于澳大利亚。
