Caenoplana Hoggii
''Caenoplana'' is a genus of land planarians from Australia and New Zealand. Description The genus ''Caenoplana'' is characterized by having an elongate, cylindrical to sub-cylindrical body. The eyes are arranged along the body margins, crowded irregularly at the sides of the anterior end and extending in a single row to the posterior end. The reproductive system of planarians, copulatory apparatus lacks a permanent penis, i. e., the penis is formed during copulation by folds in the male cavity. The female cavity is irregular and narrow and the ovovitelline ducts join each other behind it, entering it ventrally. Species The following species are recognised in the genus ''Caenoplana'': *''Caenoplana albolineata'' *''Caenoplana barringtonensis'' *''Caenoplana citrina'' *''Caenoplana coerulea'' – Blue garden flatworm *''Caenoplana daemeli'' *''Caenoplana decolorata'' Mateos, Jones, Riutort, & Álvarez-Presas, 2020 *''Caenoplana dubia'' *''Caenoplana graffi'' *''Caenopl ...
