Biology:Novibipalium
From HandWiki
Novibipalium is a genus of land planarians of the subfamily Bipaliinae (hammerhead flatworms).
Description
Species of Novibipalium are very similar to those of the related genus Bipalium. The main difference occurs in the copulatory apparatus, which in Novibipalium lacks a well-developed penis papilla, while in Bipalium a penis papilla is present. Novibipalium has a set of folds in the copulatory apparatus that are everted during mating and create a temporary penis.[1]

- Novibipalium alterifuscatum Kawakatsu, Ogren & Froehlich, 1998
