User's notes

Flatworm about 20cm under piece of wood. Not 100% sure which Parakontikia this is as relections are hard to tell from stripes. Im leaning towards ventrolineata though.

In such cases, gently flip it over - easy then to distinguish P. atrata from P. ventrolineata from their ventral markings.
