About Diversibipalium multilineatum (Makino & Shirasawa, 1983)
Diversibipalium multilineatum is a species of large, predatory land flatworm. This species is native to Japan. The first record of it outside Asia came in 2016, documenting a 2014 discovery in Bologna, Italy; it has also been found across several localities in France. Additional 2021 records confirmed its presence in multiple regions of Italy, and another 2025 record confirmed its presence in the Netherlands. This makes Diversibipalium multilineatum an alien species to Europe.
