ZMA V. Pl. 7258.1, Monte Café, 8 February 2015, coll. Ricardo Lima, preserved specimen. ZMA V. Pl. 7259.1, São Tomé Island, Monte Café, 3 March 2015, coll. Ricardo Lima, preserved specimen. ZMA V. Pl. 7260.1, São Tomé Island, Monte Café, March 2015, coll. Ricardo Lima, preserved specimen. Comparative discussion. All specimens show the typical external features of this species (cf. Winsor 1983), viz. presence of five blackish stripes of which the two most lateral ones fuse shortly before reaching the head and touch the blackish dorsal speck on the semicircular head; the thin median stripe does not reach the head margin (Figs 48, 49). Since the animals could be unequivocally diagnosed through these external features and introduced specimens are frequently asexual, i. e. without copulatory apparatus, we have refrained from producing histological sections. These findings (Fig. 9) represent the first records for Bipalium kewense from São Tomé Island.
