Abstract Intraspecific variation in the histological appearanceof several morphological characters is examined in 33specimens of the land nemertean, Geonemertespelaensis, obtained from many separate geographiclocations. Variations in the external appearance,together with other characters not previously reportedfor this species, are also discussed. A new speciesof Geonemertes from the Philippine Islands, G. philippinensis sp. nov., is described andillustrated, and an emended diagnosis of the genus isprovided.
