| Comments | This flatworm feeds on the solitary ascidian Corella willmeriana. These are juveniles and there were several inside of each tunicate. Adults seem to be one to a tunicate. After they have eaten the entire contents, they crawl across the rocks to another tunicate. The flatworm has been redescribed by Hilda Ching (1977): Canadian Journal of Zoology 55(2): 338-342.
