Australopacifica atrata (Steel, 1897) 
This black Flatworm is currently known from two Nottinghamshire sites. Dozens of individuals were first recorded from Woodthorpe Grange, where they were found under logs and bark on the floor in shady contions near the old walled garden in 2020 (Pendleton, T.A.). Searcing at the county's various garden centres, has so far only seen it recorded from underneath pot plants on black polythene membrane in an outdoor plant sales area at a Worksop garden centre.
