Abstract The marine triclad Pentacoelum hispaniensis is known from a freshwater biotope near Valencia, Spain. Preliminary results suggest a diploid complement of 12 chromosomes for the species. A historical scenario is presented for the occurrence of P. fucoideum in the Caspian Sea and the Baltic Sea, and for the presence of P. hispaniensis in the Mediterranean.
