I am not convinced that it is the same species, and prefer that it remains as unidentified or "Geoplanidae".

Flatworm about 10-15mm. Sorry for the crappy photos.seems to have dark brown dorsal surface, lighter at the prosterior end where some speckling in rough lines can be seen, no visible stripes, light gray underside. Found on underside of log in damp area next to temporary stream.

Unfortunately the focus, resolution and highlights obscure details necessary for an identification. I am even unable to place the specimen in a Tribe. In such a case, it would be helpful to gently tease the specimen onto some piece of habitat so it was extended and more details may be evident, though highlights always make the task difficult.

To the naked eye this looked the same as the recent I'd of Anisorhynchodemus sp. (genus), could it be the same species?
