Tripyloplana virgae
Tripyloplana virgae (Sopott-Ehlers & Schmidt, 1975) Copidoplana virgae Sopott-Ehlers & Schmidt, 1975: 202–203, pl. 6 fig. a–c (type locality: Santa Cruz Island, Galapagos Archipelago, Ecuador). Tripyloplana virgae – Faubel 1983: 108–109, 115, fig. 34g (new combination). Copidoplana virgae – Westheide 1991: 44 (mentioned only). Distribution Santa Cruz Island, Galapagos Archipelago, Ecuador. Habitat Benthic (rock pool). Remarks Tripyloplana virgae are described by Sopott-Ehlers & Schmidt (1975) within the genus Copidoplana. Faubel (1983) transferred the species to the genus Tripyloplana (family Notoplanidae), based on the presence of a separate male and female atrium; a character that in the genus Copidoplana is determined as a common genital atrium. Review the remarks of Amyris favis on the change of family.
