Geonemertes pelaensis

Geonemertes pelaensis is a species of terrestrial Nemertea.

[1] Superficially, Geonemertes pelaensis resembles a land flatworm (family Geoplanidae) and lives in the same habitat, but it has an anterior exertile proboscis, whereas flatworms have a pharynx located in their ventral side at midlength of body.

The number of eyes this nemertean can have varies between 4 and 8 ocelli.

[2] It is commonly found on islands in the Indo-Pacific, and has been anthropogenically introduced to Caribbean islands and Florida.

[3] Geonemertes pelaensis is a known predator of gastropoda in the wild, and isopoda, and amphipoda in laboratory settings.
