Boninia sp.
"Five Graves," Maui. 10 ft. photo by Karolle Wall

March 2020. Karolle Wall writes: Found this tiny worm in the surge zone/ cave area at 5 Graves, Makena in about 3 metres of water. It was tiny — a maximum of 30 mm when completely stretched out. I can find no references to one in Hawaii, but Newman and Cannon have a photo of a similar looking one in their book "Marine Flatworms, The World of Polyclads”. The problem is, it was found in Columbia S. America. So, for now, I’m calling it Boninia sp. ?
