Marionfyfea adventor is a species of land planarian described in 2016 from specimens found in the United Kingdom, the Netherlands and France.[1] However, since the species belongs to the genus Marionfyfea, of which the species are known only from subantarctic islands off New Zealand,[2][3] it is probably an introduced species in Europe.[1]
