03CF87B5FFB3FF91FF11F93FFBDE04E1.taxon	materials_examined	Material examined: PORTUGAL: Madeira: Faial, 32.793609 ° N, - 16.848819 ° W, 20 m, 7. IX. 2019, 1 ex. (GenBank accession number OM 019322), C. Andújar leg., found in a soil sample near a beach. This species is native to Australia but has been introduced to New Zealand, the United States, Argentina, the United Kingdom, France, and Spain, including the Balearic and Canary archipelagos (Álvarez-Presas et al. 2014; Breugelmans et al. 2012; Luis-Negrete et al. 2011; Suárez et al. 2018). Here we provide the first record from Madeira. Álvarez-Presas et al. (2014) found that C. coerulea was subdivided in three main clades. Our specimen from Madeira matches to a clade including sequences from Australia, Catalonia and the Canary Islands (Spain) (Figure 1 B).	en	Suárez, Daniel, Pedrianes, Juan Ramón, Andújar, Carmelo (2022): DNA barcoding reveals new records of invasive terrestrial flatworms (Platyhelminthes, Tricladida, Geoplanidae) in the Macaronesian region.

03CF87B5FFB3FF91FF11FBFFFE74051D.taxon	materials_examined	Material examined: PORTUGAL: Madeira: Ribeiro Bonito, 32.810373 ° N, - 16.937081 ° W, 795 m, 7. IX. 2019, 1 ex. (GenBank accession number OM 019327), C. Andújar leg., found in a laurel forest soil sample. SPAIN: Canary Islands, Gran Canaria: Tenteniguada, 27.975184 ° N, - 15.529326 ° W, 1010 m, 14. IV. 2019, 5 exx. (GenBank accession number OM 019325 & OM 019326), D. Suárez leg., found under a plastic mulch of a strawberry (Fragaria sp.) plantation. This species is native to South America (Argentina and Brazil), and has been introduced in several countries of Europe (England, Spain, France, Belgium, Italy, Ireland, and Portugal, including Madeira, and Azores) (Carbayo et al. 2016; Justine et al. 2020; Lago-Barcia et al. 2020; Mori et al. 2022). Here it is reported for the first time for the Canary Islands. The presence of this species in Madeira was published in Justine et al. (2020) as a personal communication without data regarding locality or collection date. Thus, this record confirms the presence of the species in Madeira. Sequences from Madeira and the Canary Islands match to the ‘ network 3 ’ of Lago-Barcia et al. (2019), which includes sequences from Spain, Portugal, and Argentina, as well as sequences from Italy (Mori et al. 2022), France and Belgium (Justine et al. 2020) (Figure 1 A).	en	Suárez, Daniel, Pedrianes, Juan Ramón, Andújar, Carmelo (2022): DNA barcoding reveals new records of invasive terrestrial flatworms (Platyhelminthes, Tricladida, Geoplanidae) in the Macaronesian region.

(GenBank accession number OM 019324), C. Andújar leg., found in a laurel forest soil sample. SPAIN: Canary Islands, Tenerife: El Bailadero, 28.551440 ° N, - 16.194065 ° W, 405 m, 10. I. 2022, 10 ex., D. Suárez leg., found in a pitfall trap laid on the laurel forest; Carretera El Bailadero, 28.543226 ºN, - 16.219725 ºW, 740 m, 10. I. 2022, 8 exx., C. Andújar leg., found in pitfall traps laid on a laurel forest. La Palma: Camino El Brezal, 28.649035 ºN, - 17.778564 ºW, 305 m, 26. VIII. 2009, 1 ex., J. Pedrianes obs.; 6. V. 2012, 1 ex., J. Pedrianes obs.; Camino La Justa, 28.689071 ºN, - 17.943783 ºW, 650 m, 4. VII. 2019, 6 exx. (GenBank accession number OM 019323), J. Matos leg., found in roots of beetroot (Beta vulgaris); Barranco de Juan Mayor, 28.688932 ºN, - 17.776292 ºW, 180 m, 1 ex., C. Lozano obs., found in a strawberry (Fragaria sp.) plantation. Originally known from Hawaii, E. septemlineata is also present in the Cook Islands, Brazil, Tahiti, and Italy (Justine et al. 2018 a; Mori et al. 2022). This constitutes the first report for both Madeira and the Canary Islands. Sequences matched identically to all available sequences on GenBank (Figure 1 C). It is noteworthy that some specimens of O. nungara and E. septemlineata were found in well-preserved humid laurel forest. Recently, Lago-Barcia et al. (2020) found O. nungara in Azores in a natural area comprised of low scrubland and prairies. Caenoplana coerulea in Madeira was found in a scrubland near a beach. Although in the Canary Islands this species is predominantly found in anthropic areas, it has also been found in a subterranean ecosystem (Suárez et al. 2018). Overall, this suggests that contrary to continental settings where land planarians are typically found in anthropic ecosystems, such as gardens or greenhouses (Álvarez-Presas et al. 2014), in oceanic island systems invasive flatworms have the potential to extend their ranges into natural areas, thus posing a threat to endemic invertebrate fauna.	en	Suárez, Daniel, Pedrianes, Juan Ramón, Andújar, Carmelo (2022): DNA barcoding reveals new records of invasive terrestrial flatworms (Platyhelminthes, Tricladida, Geoplanidae) in the Macaronesian region.
