In 2016, the type-material of ten of the 15 Brazilian land planarians (Platyhelminthes, Tricladida, Geoplanidae) described by Schirch (1929) was discovered deposited in the Museu Nacional do Rio de Janeiro (MNRJ). Schirch only described the external morphology of these species, all originally placed in the genus . By the 1930s and 1950s , , and underwent taxonomic revision based on the study of non-type specimens. The remaining 12 species also underwent a taxonomic revision but only based on the literature. Current names of these species are , , , , , , , , , , , and . The species sensu Schirch (1929) was renamed as Ogren & Kawakatsu, 1990. The present study reports a taxonomic revision of seven of Schirch's species using type material, namely , , , , , and . Additional specimens of some of these species were also examined. Morphological data from histological preparations and from virtual sections were obtained through a non-destructive technique of X-ray computed microtomography (µCT). This approach resulted in the preservation of the entire body of at least one type-specimen of each species, and the holotype of . Conspecificity of and was confirmed, as previously reported in the literature. It is also proposed that belongs to the genus , while the other species should remain in , since type-specimens are either immature, poorly preserved or simply lost.
2016年,在里约热内卢国家博物馆(MNRJ)发现了希尔施(1929年)描述的15种巴西陆地涡虫(扁形动物门,三肠目,陆涡虫科)中的10种的模式标本。希尔施仅描述了这些物种的外部形态,所有物种最初都被归入 属。在20世纪30年代和50年代, 、 和 基于非模式标本的研究进行了分类修订。其余12个物种也进行了分类修订,但仅基于文献。这些物种目前的名称是 、 、 、 、 、 、 、 、 、 、 、 和 。希尔施(1929年)所指的 物种于1990年被奥格伦和川胜重新命名为 。本研究报告了对希尔施的7个物种进行的分类修订,使用了模式标本,即 、 、 、 、 、 和 。还检查了其中一些物种的额外标本。通过X射线计算机显微断层扫描(µCT)的无损技术获得了组织学切片和虚拟切片的形态学数据。这种方法使得每个物种至少有一个模式标本的整个身体得以保存,以及 的正模标本。 和 的同种性得到了确认,正如之前文献中所报道的那样。还提出 应归入 属,而其他物种应保留在 属,因为模式标本要么不成熟、保存不佳,要么干脆丢失了。
