Flatworms about 15-20mm. Hint of grey undersides but forgot to turn it over and have a good look underneath

Fiddling with the image, I strongly suspect that it is Parakontikia ventrolineata rather than P. atrata, as there appears to be dorsal stripes.

I think you are right, now that I have a closer look. A shame. Thanks for checking for me.
