Microplana is a genus of land planarians found in Europe and Africa.[1]
Description
The genus Microplana is characterized by having an elongate, rounded body and generally only two eyes. The copulatory apparatus has a permanent conical penis with a muscular bulbus projecting into a short atrium. A genito-intestinal canal or a bursa copulatrix is usually present, connecting the intestine to the female atrium.[2]
