Dugesia aenigma is a species of dugesiid triclad that inhabits freshwater bodies of Cephalonia, Greece.[1]
Preserved specimens are up to 8 millimetres (0.31 in) in length and 2 millimetres (0.079 in) in width.[1]
Phylogeny
The most inclusive molecular analysis of Dugesia carried out shows that D. aenigma is closely related with other Greek species, mainly with those inhabiting the Ionian Sea.[2]
