Lake Pedder planarian

The Lake Pedder planarian (Romankenkius pedderensis) is a species of invertebrate in the family Dugesiidae. This species was gregarious within the aquatic community of the lake before it flooded, living alongside small fish and invertebrates such as the Pedder galaxias and Lake Pedder earthworm.

The species is endemic to the Lake Pedder area in Tasmania, Australia. This species has been listed as extinct by the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species in the past, but live specimens of this species were collected in 2006[failed verification] and the ongoing existence of the species was again confirmed in 2012.
