Abstract / Notes

"Records of terrestrial planarians and nemertines found on Bermuda are summarized. Three new species
of__terrestrial planarian are described though they certainly originated elsewhere. These are Amaga expatria
n.__sp., Gigantea gouvernoni n. sp. (both Geoplanidae and originating from South or Central America) and
Bipalium__vagum n. sp. (Bipaliidae, probably originating from Asia). Records of other planarians (Bipalium
kewense,__Anisorhynchodemus sp., Dolichoplana striata and Rhynchodemus sylvaticus) as well as
nemertines__(Pantinonemertes agricola and Geonemertes pelaensis) are discussed with regard to origin,
