Rhynchodemini is a tribe of land planarians in the subfamily Rhynchodeminae. [1]
The tribe Rhynchodemini is defined as containing land planarians with an elongate, cylindroid form, two eyes near the anterior end and strong subepithelial musculature in which the longitudinal fibers are grouped into large bundles. The copulatory apparatus lacks a penis papilla or has it greatly reduced. [2]
The tribe Rhynchodemini contains six genera:
