Topic: A Planarian Species New to Britain

Chris,

Could the Planarian Planaria albissima, Vejdovsky, 1883 be added to the UKSI and onward through the Recorder family please.  This Triclad Turbellarian, not hitherto known to occur in Britain, was collected in the environs of Aberystwyth, Wales during 2014 (I believe).  See over at:  http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/1926Natur.117..556C.

Many thanks.
Steve
