Geoplanini is a tribe of land planarians in the subfamily Geoplaninae. [1]
The tribe Geoplanini includes all genera of Geoplaninae that occur east of the Andes plus the Chilean genus Transandiplana . However, there are no currently known synapomorphies uniting these genera, and this group is supported solely on the basis of molecular analyses. [1]
The tribe Geoplanini contains 26 genera:
Geoplanidae is a family of flatworms known commonly as land planarians or land flatworms.
Girardia is a genus of freshwater planarians belonging to the family Dugesiidae.
Geoplaninae is a subfamily of land planarians endemic to the Neotropical region. Members of this family are sometimes referred to as the Neotropical land planarians. However, one species, Obama nungara has been introduced in Europe.
Luteostriata is a genus of land planarians from Brazil characterized by a yellow body with dark longitudinal stripes.
Obama is a genus of land planarians from South America. It contains several species adapted to human-disturbed environments, including the only invasive land planarian native to the Neotropical realm, Obama nungara, which has been accidentally introduced in Europe.
The reproductive system of planarians is broadly similar among different families, although the associated structures can vary in complexity.
Supramontana is a genus of land planarians from South America.
Choeradoplana is a genus of land planarians found in South America.
Paraba is a genus of land planarians from South America.
Imbira is a genus of land planarians found in South America.
Cratera is a genus of land planarians found in South America.
Geoplana is a genus of land planarians from South America.
Pasipha is a genus of land planarians from South America.
Notogynaphallia is a genus of land planarians from South America.
Eudóxia Maria Froehlich was a Brazilian zoologist.
Amaga is a genus of land planarians from South America.
Luteostriata abundans is a species of Brazilian land planarian in the subfamily Geoplaninae. It is a common species in human-disturbed areas in Brazil's southernmost state, Rio Grande do Sul.
Gigantea is a genus of land planarians from the Neotropical realm.
Timyma is a genus of land planarians from Chile. It is the sole genus of the subfamily Timyminae.
Sarcoplanini is a tribe of land planarians in the subfamily Geoplaninae.
