TABLE 1. Body length, position of the mouth, M (pharyngeal aperture) and gonopore, Gp, from the anterior end (mm) and position of mouth and gonopore as % of body length of specimens named as either Caenoplana variegata (Cv) or C. bicolor (Cb) taken from literature or measured from museum specimens. Also shown are dimensions taken from Winsor (1973) and of the sectioned UK specimen CV7. Fletcher & Hamilton (1888) possibly confused anterior and posterior (see text), * indicates corrected values.
