A new species of pseudocerotid flatworm (Platyhelminthes, Polycladida) from the Indo-Pacific.
Micronesica 34(2): 177-184.

Abstract / Notes

A new species of pseudocerotid flatworm Pseudoceros
indicus nov. sp. (Platyhelminthes, Polycladida) is described. This species
was found to be widespread and abundant from Chuuk Lagoon,
Micronesia, common from eastern Australia and Papua New Guinea, and
rare from the Indian Ocean. There has been much confusion over the
name of this and similarly patterned species. Remarks on other pseudo-
cerotids from Micronesia are also presented.
