Abstract / Notes

A new species of freshwater triclad, Romankenkius libidinosus sp. nov., is described from New South Wales,
Australia. The species is characterized by a large adenodactyl and unique genitointestinal connections, and
represents the first record of the genus Romankenkius outside Tasmania. The taxonomic and phylogenetic
implications of several morphological features of the new species are discussed in the light of a previous
phylogenetic study.
