Diversibipalium multilineatum is a species of large predatory land flatworm.
The species is native to Japan. [1] [2] It has been recorded in 2016 for the first time outside Asia, from Bologna, Italy (from a finding in September 2014), and from Léguevin, France.[3] It is thus an alien species to Europe.[3]
