P. plana
Pasipha plana is a species of land planarian belonging to the family Geoplaninae. It is found within Brazil.

P. plana has an elongate body with parallel margins, reaching up to 70 mm in length. The dorsum is ivory in color, with black or brown dots. The ventral side of the body is sulfur yellow.

P. plana ; eyes dorsal, occupying lateral band on each side of body, 44 % of body width; posteriormost testes between pharynx and copulatory apparatus; prostatic vesicle inverted U-shaped in lateral view, not bifurcated; ovovitelline ducts emerge from inner-dorsal side of ovaries; male atrium folded; length of male atrium to female atrium ratio, 8:1; female atrium as long as high.

The specific epithet was given

P. liviae is only known to be found in | in the municipalities of Teresópolis (-22.42, -43.01) and Rio de Janeiro (-22.93, -43.44), State of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

P. chilensis
slender and nominally flatter (see cross section Fig. H) than this. At a length of 46 mm it becomes about 2 mm wide in the middle, with very little curvature of the dorsum (greatest thickness 0.7 mm) and blunted lateral edges. From the middle, the gradual narrowing to the broadly truncated posterior end begins (Fig. 38), while the anterior body is slightly wider until near the tip, where it then suddenly narrows with a lateral indentation (Fig. 40). The mouth is 25 mm, the fine round sexual opening 31 mm from the anterior end.

The epithelial brownish-yellow (ferrugineus) color of the dorsum is somewhat more sparsely contained in the anterior apex and extends on the body only to the lateral edge, without passing over the same to the ventral side reach. This has, as well as the dorsal parts stripped of the epithelium, a deep yellow color (Fig. 39).

Distrib. Collected in 4 specimens by W. Michaelsen in Coyinhue near Valdivia (Chile) on April 26. 4893 (Museum Hamburg Coll. Michaelsen N0. 32). L. Plate's specimens are from Santiago de Chile (Quinta normal, August 4894) and are now in the Kgl. Museum Berlin.

P. aphalla
"A small species, length of mature specimen about 5 mm., anterior end blunt, posterior slightly pointed, body thin and flat (Fig. 6); curvature due to preservation prevented getting exact idea of shape. Eyes moderately numerous in band along body margin, arranged in single file around the anterior end, widening to about anterior third where the band of eyes is about three eyes deep; thence declining and dying away toward the posterior end. Color uniformly black above, consisting of a fine black granulation on a dark brown ground." This species is distinguished by the combination of small size, black color, and details of the copulatory apparatus. Hyman, L. H. (1941). Terrestrial flatworms from the Canal Zone, Panama. American Museum Novitates. (1105): 1-11.

P. diminutiva
This is a very small member of the genus, only 15 mm. long. To the naked eye it appeared uniformly black above and pale gray below, but when cleared a pattern became evident as in figure 38. On a dark brown ground there were present two broad black lateral stripes and a very narrow middorsal stripe. The outer lateral stripe continues around the head just to the inner side of the row of eyes (fig. 39). The inner lateral stripe ceases as a thin line on the head region. Posteriorly the two stripes appeared fused for part of their course but were seen to separate again in the tail end. The narrow median stripe seemed incomplete. Because this worm was rolled up into a coil and could not be satisfactorily straightened, the pattern was not well made out. On account of the black background the eyes could not be followed and were detectable only on the head where they encircle the tip (fig. 39). Hyman, L. H. (1955).

São Leopoldo, R. G. S.: 1 specimen, Jan. 1955; 3 specimens, Oct. 1956; Prof. Dr. J. Hauser, S. J., col.

Specimen a collected Jan. 1955; specimens a, b, and c w ere sectioned. Creeping, specimen c was 80 mm. long by 5 mm. broad; the body was flattened, w ith almost parallel margins, narrow ing rath er abruptly at both en d s. The dorsal surface (Fig. 67) presents a greyish-brown pigm ent on a light yellow gro u n d. Along the back runs a lighter stripe, ca. 1 mm. broad, due to a thinning of the dark pigment. A t the borders of the light stripe the pigm ent is darker than on the rest of the back. The ventral side is ivory. Beginning at the anterior end, the small and numerous eyes (Fig. 68) spread onto the dorsal surface, leaving free only the m edian stripe

Locality: Osununú Private Reserve (27°16’46’’S, 55°34’43’’W), near San Ignacio, Misiones province, Argentina ( Fig. 1 View FIGURE 1 ). GoogleMaps

Desc: External morphology. Body elongate, with parallel margins, and flattened in cross section ( Fig. 2A, B View FIGURE 2 ). The anterior tip is blunt, and the posterior tip ends sharply pointed. The dorsal surface is brown, with a median band light brown to yellowish, which is approximately 1/4 of body width, although it is a bit wider at the level of the pharynx and copulatory apparatus ( Fig. 2A View FIGURE 2 ). The median band has a narrow darker brown longitudinal line. Thin black para-median stripes extend along the whole body, except near the cephalic apex ( Fig. 2A View FIGURE 2 ). The ventral surface is light grey. After fixation, the dorsal pigment was conserved almost as in live, although a bit paler ( Fig. 2A View FIGURE 2 ). The holotype was ~ 40mm long when crawling and 35.5mm after fixation. Its maximum width was 2.3mm, and its maximum height was 1mm. The mouth and gonopore were located at 24.7mm (70% of body length) and 29.6mm (83% of body length) of the anterior tip, respectively. The eyes, with clear halos, extend along the whole body ( Fig. 2A View FIGURE 2 ), and are uniserial around the anterior tip and in the first millimetre of the body. Then, they sparse bi- and triserially, and, at 5mm from the anterior tip, they spread on the dorsal surface, reaching 6–8 rows in their maximum extension, which is at 12–15mm from the anterior tip. Towards the posterior body region, the eyes remain dorsal but scarcer and at the level of the pharynx they are less numerous (3–4 rows on each side of the body). At the level of the copulatory apparatus, they are more isolated, reaching the posterior end.

Diagnosis: Elongated body with parallel margins; ~ 40mm in length in maximum extension; dorsal surface brown beige with median band golden yellow; thin brown beige line along the median band and thin graphite black para-median stripes; ventral surface light grey; pharynx cylindrical; extrabulbar prostatic vesicle piriform, with folded walls, and tubular paired proximal portion; male atrium richly folded, with small folds in its most proximal part; female genital canal opening into the dorso-caudal wall of the female atrium.

Etymology: The name of this species is in honour to Horacio Quiroga (1878–1937), an Uruguayan writer who lived in San Ignacio town, in the vicinity of the type locality of the new species. He wrote wonderful stories in which, with the rainforest as setting, he used the supernatural to show the struggle of men and animals to survive.

By Prof. R. Blanchard in Paris I received a specimen of a Geoplana collected by Dr. F. Göldi. Geoplana, which reminds in the drawing involuntarily of Bipalium ocellatum. The slender animal is somewhat over 20 mm long and up to 2,7 mm wide, convex above and flat below, up to 0,7 mm thick, towards the front somewhat more strongly and more gradually narrowed than behind. The mouth is 42 mm, the sexual opening 46 mm from the anterior end.

The dorsal surface is divided into three longitudinal zones of equal width: a central one, vivid orange, which narrows in front and narrows at the front and back but extends to the ends, and two lateral zones. In the latter the (here duller yellow) is limited to single round and rather evenly distributed spots, between which the brown (fuligineus) is the brown (fuligineus) parenchyma pigment spreads, which becomes darker medially and appears almost black at the margin of the almost black at the edge of the middle zone. Towards the anterior end the bright spots become more indistinct and the brown tone lighter -- the parenchyma pigment is diffusely distributed here. The ventral side is uniformly whitish-yellow and framed by a narrow fringe of brown pigment. framed. In the edge of the anterior end the sensory pits can be traced very clearly up to about 4 mm posteriorly. and above the row of dimples the eyes are irregularly arranged in a single row, each surrounded by a light surrounded by a bright, pigment-free halo.

Distrib. Collected by E. Göldi in Colonia alpina, Sa Catharina in Brazil.
