Abstract / Notes

Two new species of terrestrial planarians in the family Geoplanidae, Geoplana franciscana and Notogynaphallia
guaiana, from the State of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, are described. Both species have a multilayered lining
in the female atrium. The study of specimens of N. goetschi, aimed at comparing it to N. guaiana, reveals the
need for a re-description and review of N. goetschi.
