Two new potentially invasive hammerhead flatworms join the team during the pandemic

by Piter Kehoma Boll

Hammerhead flatworms form a fascinating group of land planarians that is native to Madagascar and South and Southeast Asia. Despite their huge diversity in these places, most of what we know about them comes from a few species that have been inadvertently spread to new areas.

Now, two new species join this traveling team through a new study published in the open-access journal PeerJ by a team led by Professor Jean-Lou Justine from the Muséum National d’Histoire Naturelle, Paris.

The shiny black *Humbertium covidum*. Photo by Pierre Gros*.

The first new species is a completely black hammerhead flatworm that was found in the Pyrénées-Atlantiques (France) and in Veneto (Italy). It was named Humbertium covidum because the study was completed during the lockdown caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and as a homage to the victims of the disease. Genetic analyses of its intestinal contents indicate that it feeds on small snails.

The second new species has a beautiful blue-green iridescence over its brown color and was found in Mayotte, a French island in the Mozambique Channel between Africa and Madagascar. It was, therefore, adequately named Diversibipalium mayottensis. Due to Mayotte’s proximity to Madagascar, this larger Island, where hammerhead flatworms are native, could be its place of origin. Another interesting aspect of this species is that it forms a sister group with the other hammerhead flatworms of which we have molecular data. This could mean it forms a lineage that diverged from most hammerhead flatworms long ago.

The researchers sequenced the complete mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) of the two new species and of three other already known invasive hammerhead flatworms. This allowed the research team to present the first robust phylogeny of these planarians.

Now we have to keep going and study more hammerhead flatworms to get to known their history and dive deep into their diversity. What do you think about joining us planariologists?
