ARTIOPOSTHIA
I think the first UK report in the sci. lit. might be this one which
places the introduction circa 1963. Bipalium kewense, aka the greenhouse
planarian, turned up in 1878:
Willis,RJ; Edwards,AR (1977): The occurrence of the land planarian
Artioposthia triangulata (Dendy) in Northern Ireland. Irish Naturalists'
Journal 19(4), 112-116.
If anyone has Artioposthia cites subsequent to the Boag et al. 1995
I mentioned yesterday I'd be interested.
