Summary

A groundbreaking taxonomic revision of terrestrial flatworms from New Zealand's Subantarctic Islands introduces significant new classifications. Researchers erect a novel tribe, Argaplanini, and genus, Argaplana, while redescribing the species Argaplana ranuii. Additionally, they propose Marionfyfea as a replacement name for Fyfea, which was previously pre-occupied. This work contributes to the understanding of flatworm biodiversity in this unique region by establishing new taxonomic frameworks and clarifying nomenclature.
