The photo of the intense orange-red flatworm from Isla Danzante, Mexico most likely shows a scientifically undescribed species. The flatworm has a wavy edge and a raised longitudinal edge in the middle. We are not entirely sure about the classification of the genus.

Unfortunately, further information about this Mexican roundworm is not available.
