Abstract
A large polyclad flatworm has been consistently found associated with mortalities of the cultured giant clam,Tridacna gigas (L.) and the fouling pearl oysterPinctada maculata (Gould) in Solomon Islands.Stylochus (Imogene) matatasi n. sp. is described and a brief account of its biology is given.
