The taxonomic status of    Dugesia   biblica    (  Platyhelminthes  ,   Tricladida  ,   Dugesiidae  ) from Israel and Turkey is problematic due to its morphological similarity with    D.   sicula    since these nominal species present overlapping characters. In this study we analyzed histological preparations of specimens of these two nominal species and also compared mitochondrial  COI  gene sequences from Israeli populations to the already known haplotype composition of    D.   sicula   . We concluded that these animals belong to the same species and therefore we consider    D.   biblica    to be a junior synonym of    D.   sicula   . This implies that the distribution range of    D.   sicula    is even wider than previously thought, and that the species is present all around the Mediterranean Basin and on many of its islands.
