Wulguru cuspidata is a microscopic acoel species that lives in the sandy beaches of northern Queensland (Australia). It is the second species of Australian free-living acoel to be described (the first is Heterochaerus australis). Its generic name Wulguru is derived from Wulgurukaba, an Indigenous Australian people from Queensland, and the specific epithet is derived from cuspis (Latin: point, tip), alluding to the characteristic single pointed tail of this animal.
