Leptoplana taenia

Leptoplana taenia (Schmarda, 1859) Centrostomum taenium Schmarda, 1859: 24, pl. 5, fig. 54 (type locality: Paita, Peru). Leptoplana taenia – Lang 1884: 894 (new combination). — Faubel 1984b: 237 (identification keys). Distribution Paita Peru. Habitat Benthic. Remarks Schmarda (1859) made a partial description of the species, as well as a diagram in which he represented the external morphology of the organism. This illustration revealed a cylindrical pharynx, distinctive character of the superfamily Euryleptoidea within the suborder Cotylea. Subsequently, Lang (1884) reassigned the species, determining it as L. taenia. However, he did not establish or determine the characteristics based on the original description; reason for which Faubel (1983) established it as incertae sedis.
