Remarks

The separation between Euplanoida cf. pacificola and the nominal species is difficult, mainly due to the ambiguous information in the original description, the possible artifacts from the process of fixation and/ or different life stages of the specimens, and the color variations between the specimens reviewed by Plehn (1896), Hyman (1953a) (see remarks on Euplanoida pacificola ).
