Flatworm about 25mm. Brown speckling on dorsal surface, darker speckles seem to be condensed to form vague lines including one larger line off center, pale cream/white underneath. Found under thick piece of bark in forested area above Ginninderra Creek.

At last, photos in which the eyes are not too obscured by reflections, and as a bonus, a wonderfully brown-streaked dorsum alluded to in the specific epithet virgatum. Also nice clear views of the ventral surface.
