Species Pratoplana sp.
Introduction
This record is based on one specimen collected by Willems et al. (2005) from amongst mangroves on Magnetic Island, Queensland, Australia. The authors reported that the specimen was found in the intertidal area in rich sediment dotted with crab holes. The species has not been formally described because only one specimen was collected and it was in a poor condition, however, a comprehensive description of that specimen is provided by Willems et al. (2005).
