Hyman LH (citation)- p 328, "This species can probably be recognized readily when alive by the red saddle across the dorsal surface. It may be pointed out that Notoplana timida (Heath and McGregor) is described as having a similar saddle, and the two species may well be identical. Should this prove to be the case, the name would of course become N. timida."
