Geoplana Excellentissima
''Geoplana'' is a genus of land planarians from South America. Taxonomic history The genus ''Geoplana'' was erected in 1857 by William Stimpson and included most land planarians with several eyes distributed along the body.Stimpson, W. (1857). ''Prodromus descriptionis animalium evertebratorum quæ in Expeditione ad Oceanum, Pacificum Septentrionalem a Republica Federata missa, Johanne Rodgers Duce, observavit er descripsit. Pars I. Turbellaria Dendrocœla.'' Proceedings of the Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia. 9:19-31. Species with only two eyes were placed in the genus '' Rhynchodemus'', while species with a crescent-shaped head were placed in '' Bipalium''. In the same year, apparently unaware of Stimpson's paper, the naturalist Max Schultze, based on published information and new species collected in Brazil by the naturalist Fritz Müller, also erected a genus named ''Geoplana'', but included all land planarians in it.Schultze, M. and Müller, F. (1857). ''Beitrà ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Barreirana
''Barreirana'' is a genus of land planarians from Brazil, formerly considered a subgenus of ''Geoplana''. Description The genus ''Barreirana'' includes land planarians with a small and slender body, usually around 2 cm long or less. The eyes occur along the whole body, covering almost the entire dorsum.

Incertae Sedis
or is a term used for a taxonomy (biology), taxonomic group where its broader relationships are unknown or undefined. Alternatively, such groups are frequently referred to as "enigmatic taxa". In the system of open nomenclature, uncertainty at specific taxonomic levels is indicated by (of uncertain family), (of uncertain suborder), (of uncertain order) and similar terms. Examples * The fossil plant ''Paradinandra, Paradinandra suecica'' could not be assigned to any family, but was placed ''incertae sedis'' within the order Ericales when described in 2001. * The fossil ''Gluteus minimus (fossil), Gluteus minimus'', described in 1975, could not be assigned to any known animal phylum. The genus is therefore ''incertae sedis'' within the kingdom Animalia. * While it was unclear to which order the New World vultures (family Cathartidae) should be assigned, they were placed in Aves ''incertae sedis''. It was later agreed to place them in a separate order, Cathartiformes. * Boc ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Paraba
''Paraparaba'' is a genus of land planarians from South America. Description Species of the genus ''Paraparaba'' have a slender body with nearly parallel margins while creeping. The largest specimens may reach about 8 cm in length. Both sides of the body are slightly convex. The pharynx is cylindrical and the prostatic vesicle is extrabulbar. The copulatory apparatus has a permanent, protrusible, conical penis occupying the entire male cavity, which is unfolded, and the female cavity is rounded and filled with a multilayered epithelium. Taxonomy Species in the genus ''Paraparaba'' were first assigned to a genus named ''Paraba'', of which the chosen type species was ''Geoplana multicolor'' Graff, 1899. However, this was based on specimens that are not conspecific with the holotype of ''Geoplana multicolor''. An analysis of the holotype indicated that it matches the definition of the genus ''Geoplana'' and not ''Paraba''. This made ''Paraba'' become a junior synonym of '' ...
