Microplana Yaravi
''Microplana'' is a genus of land planarians found in Europe and Africa. Description Species of the genus ''Microplana'' are characterized by having an elongate, rounded body and generally only two eyes. The copulatory apparatus has a permanent conical penis with a muscular bulbus projecting into a short atrium. A genito-intestinal canal or a bursa copulatrix is usually present, connecting the intestine to the female atrium. Ecology Species of ''Microplana'' are adapted to different habitats. Most species occur in temperate forests, including beech, oak, pine and mixed forests, and seem to prefer neutral to basic soils, with pH values above 6. However, there are species adapted to drier habitats, such as the African savanna. All ''Microplana'' species are carnivores, feeding on other invertebrates. Some are active predators, while others are mainly scavengers. Species The genus ''Microplana'' includes the following species: *'' Microplana aberana'' (Mell, 1904) *'' Microplana ...
