A small sample of freshwater triclads from streams and pools of the Gebel Marra volcanic massif in the Western Sudan was examined by the author. All specimens showed the general features characteristic of triclads within the \“arrow-headed\” Dugesia group. The specimens serially examined show a number of less conspicuous features not agreeing with those described in other Dugesia forms reported from African localities. A description has been given and as a new species name Dugesia sudanica has been proposed. The new species would, according to the author, represent a further \“microspecies\” within the \“superspecies\”Dugesia gonocephala.

The new species Dugesia notogaea Sluys \& Kawakatsu, sp. n. is described from Queensland, Australia, representing the first record of the genus Dugesia for that continent. A phylogenetic analysis of the 68 species of Dugesia resulted in the discovery of a new apomorphy for the genus, and a cladogram showing two major phyletic groups. The distributional range of one group has a western accent, whereas that of the other group has an eastern emphasis; the ranges of these two groups overlap in Africa and the Mediterranean region. We attempt to determine the ancestral area for both the Dugesiidae and Dugesia. A scenario for the historical biogeography of the genus Dugesia is discussed. In this scenario it is presumed that the geological history of the Australasian region enabled Dugesia\’s from southeast Asia to colonize northern Australia.
