A distinctive orange Flatworm and probably one of the more commonly seen Flatworms in Nottinghamshire, despite the lack of records. There are known records from Attenborough (Sexton, T.) and a Worksop garden centre (Pendleton, T.A.), where it was the commonest species found in surveys conducted in October 2021.
