Two mostly white terrestrial planarians, about 7 mm long, found in a garden in Yorkshire, UK, are described. They have a single pair of eyes and both specimens are fully mature, with a single pair of ovaries, several testes, a conical penis papilla and a genito-intestinal duct, characters of the genus Microplana, but differ in color and size from other species of the genus and are described as Microplana edwardsi sp. nov.
