Specimen above found in a sample of scrapings from a pontoon at Newlyn Marina, Newlyn, Cornwall. 14.04.15.

Species hear appears to be near P. picta, but without dorsal markings. The pharynx ends on the opposite side of the animal and the teeth of the trepan appear to be longer and more acute.

Specimens currently being sought for sequencing.

The main objective of this website is in furthering environmental awareness and education through the medium of photography. To increase awareness and access to the wildlife of the region and help
people find and identify it. Sometimes the difference between species is obvious but many species can only be determined by observing microscopic characteristics that are specific to any one species.
