Remarks
Planocera pellucida
, together with
Pseudoceros wirtzi
,
Pseudoceros
cf.
maximus
and
Prostheceraeus giesbrechtii
are the three polyclad species currently recorded for
Madeira
. As can be seen in
Fig. 7J
. The specimens of
Planocera pellucida
from
Madeira
do not differ molecularly from those captured in the
Canary Islands
.
