SUMMARY
Dugesia mertoni was superficially described by Paul Steinmann in 1914 on the basis of not fully mature and not well preserved specimens. These individuals were collected from one of the Kai Islands, Indonesia. In 1990, this species was redescribed in more detail by Ronald Sluys and Ian R. Ball from individuals collected in New Britain, Papua New Guinea.
