A new species of marine planarian, Obrimoposthia aparala sp. nov., is described from the Crozet Islands and two other species are newly recorded for these islands, viz. O. wandeli and Synsiphonium ernesti. The only known freshwater triclad from the Crozets, Dugesia seclusa, is redescribed from the type material. The morphology, ecology, and distribution of these four species is discussed.
