Pseudogeoplana is a genus of land planarians of the subfamily Geoplaninae. It was erected to include species lacking sufficient morphological information to allow them to be classified in the appropriate genus.[1]
Many land planarian species described during the second half of the 19th century and the first half of the 20th century were classified based solely on external characters. Currently, the land planarian genera are highly based on their internal anatomy, especially the anatomy of the copulatory apparatus. As a result, species with old descriptions that were never redescribed, so that their internal anatomy remains unknown, cannot be assigned to the correct genus. Thus, the genus Pseudogeoplana was erected to temporarily accommodate species of the subfamily Geoplaninae whose anatomy of the copulatory apparatus is still unknown.[1]
Speciesedit
The genus Pseudogeoplana currently contains the following species:
