Artioposthia is a genus of land planarians from the Australasian and Indo-Pacific countries. Several species have also been introduced in Europe.
Species of Artioposthia are characterized by a cylindrical pharynx and ovaries placed anteriorly to the male copulatory apparatus, close to the brain or to the pharynx. The copulatory apparatus has a series of paired glandular organs called adenodactyls. [1]
Artioposthia is very similar to the closely related genus Arthurdendyus , the main difference being the position of the ovaries and the shape of the pharynx. [2]
The genus Artioposthia includes the following species:
The New Zealand flatworm is a large land flatworm native to New Zealand. It can vary from 5 mm in length when hatched to approximately 17 centimetres (6.7 in) in mature adults.
Platydemus is a genus of large predatory land planarians in the tribe Rhynchodemini.
Caenoplana is a genus of land planarians from Australia and New Zealand.
Arthurdendyus is a genus of land planarians from New Zealand.
Marionfyfea is a genus of land planarians from Antarctic Islands off New Zealand. However, a species has been described from specimens found in Europe, probably introduced.
Othelosoma is a genus of land planarians found in Africa and India.
Australoplana also known as Australian flatworm is a genus of land planarians from Australia and New Zealand.
Kontikia is a genus of land planarians native from islands in the Indo-Pacific region, but several species have been introduced elsewhere.
Coleocephalus is a genus of land planarians that currently contains a single species, Coleocephalus fuscus, from Enderby Island, New Zealand.
