Material examined
Tasmania, Kingston, Blackman Bay , lower intertidal in medium sand (September 1993), one specimen studied karyologically .
Description and remarks
A medium-sized unguiphorid, with two pigmented eye-spots. With n 55. Chromosomes diOEer appreciably in length, the smallest is about one-third of the largest ( table 2). Chroms 4 and 5 heterobrachial, acrocentric and subtelocentric, respectively.
The specimen may belong to one of the more northern Nematoplana with pigmented eye-spots described above, whose karyotype is unknown. However, since the Tasmanian proseriate fauna as a whole appears to be quite distinct from that of mainland Australia ( Curini-Galletti and Cannon, 1996a, 1996 b; Curini- Galletti, 1998; unpublished data), it is possible that the specimen belongs to a yet undescribed species.
