Geoplana mayori Fuhrmann, 1914 sensu Hyman 1962, incertae sedis
Geoplana mayori Fuhrmann, 1914 sensu Hyman, 1962 incertae sedis Hyman (1962: 5–7, figs. 3–5; PANAMA: Chiriquí: Finca Lerida) External diagnosis (Hyman 1962). 65 mm long and 8 mm wide. Dorsum black, except for a light median stripe and light margins, which fade away toward the dark anterior end. Eyes on a single row that begins well behind the anterior tip but soon widens to a band a few eyes wide that ends well before the pharynx (Figure 4a). Remarks. Geoplana mayori was described by Fuhrmann (1914) based on specimens from Colombia. The specimen identified as such by Hyman in Panama probably belongs to a different species. Two specimens roughly matching Hyman’s description and drawing (Figure 4b) were recorded in Costa Rica. Possible iNaturalist records (Figure 5).
