Hawaiian Polyclad Flatworms
(last revised 04/30/07)
Although certainly not exhaustive, this is probably the most complete illustrated listing of Hawaii's polyclad flatworms available online. Those in Hawaii's Sea Creatures are here, as well as many others. Some are likely new species; others have not been identified. Scott Johnson contributed the photos marked with an asterisk (*). Click on the thumbnails for a larger view. A more comprehensive illustrated list is available on the CD "Fabulous Flatworms" by Newman & Cannon. Get it here: http://www.publish.csiro.au/nid/18/pid/4850.htm

Additional polyclad flatworm photos from Hawai`i can be found in Reef and Shore Fauna of Hawaii, Section 2 edited by Dennis M. Devaney and Lucius G. Eldredge and Marine Flatworms, the World of Polyclads by Leslie Newman and Lester Cannon, published in Australia by CSIRO in 2002. The latter is the best book available on polyclad flatworms and is highly recommended. You can get it here: http://www.publish.csiro.au
