Longitude (deg): -0.3. Latitude (deg): 50.8. Longitude (deg/min): 0° 20' W. Latitude (deg/min): 50° 50' N. Vice county name: East Sussex. Vice county no.: 14. Country: England. Stage: Flatworm. Identified by: Eduard Solà. Comment: in ditch. Category: macro-photograph. Image scaling: enlarged. Background: white background. Where photo was taken: In a plastic tray. Photographic equipment used: "35mm transparencies (on a variety of films, but Agfa CT18 in the 1960's to early 1980's followed by Fujichrome in the late 1980's.) Transparencies scanned with Minolta Dimage Scan Dual II AF-2820U transparency scanner.".
These flatworms were uninvited guests in a freshwater aquarium tank of the Haus des Meeres (Aqua Terra Zoo) in Vienna, Austria. The tank is thematic and called "Matano See". Matano lake is a lake in Indonesia, it's possible that the flatworms came from here but more probably they just appeared from elsewhere.According to planarian expert Sumie-dh ( mstdn.science/@sumie_dh ) these belongs to genus Girardia with three probable species:Girardia tigrina, Girardia dorotocephala and Girardia sinensis.His reply is that:"Hard to say which one without genetics, histology will not work there since those aquarium strains are fissiparous. It can be G. tigrina, perhaps dorotocephala or sinensis, all 3 species are now invasive in various corners of Europe"
