Pasipha atla is a species of land planarian belonging to the subfamily Geoplaninae. [1] It is found within Argentina.
Pasipha atla has an elongate body with parallel margins, reaching around 35–48 mm in length. The anterior tip is blunt while the posterior is pointed. The dorsum is a dark brown color, with a whitish median stripe in the cephalic and posterior regions. The ventral side of the body is a greyish color. [2]
