Living representatives of the Neotropical genus Graff, 1896 (Geoplaninae, Tricladida, Platyhelminthes) are easily recognized by the typical shape of the head which is laterally expanded, rolled-up, and ventrally provided with two glandular cushions. In this study, the morphology and phylogeny (cytochrome C oxidase subunit I gene) of several species of land planarians are taxonomically investigated. Four of the six species studied are new to science, namely: Silva & Carbayo, , Lago-Barcia & Carbayo, , Lago-Barcia & Carbayo, , and Lago-Barcia & Carbayo, The species and deviate from the usual body shape pattern in that the head does not present lateral expansions nor glandular cushions, becoming indistinguishable from its sister genus . (Schultze & Müller, 1857) is also redescribed from a newly collected specimen and was discovered to be a member of . Graff (1899) also studied another specimen that was considered to be conspecific with ; however, in this new it is concluded that it is not conspecific but rather a new species. The name Lago-Barcia & Carbayo, is suggested for Graff's specimen.
新热带属Graff(1896年)(地理扁虫亚科,三肠目,扁形动物门)的现存代表很容易通过其典型的头部形状识别,头部横向扩展、卷曲,腹面有两个腺垫。在本研究中,对几种陆生扁虫的形态学和系统发育(细胞色素C氧化酶亚基I基因)进行了分类学研究。所研究的六个物种中有四个是科学上新发现的,即:Silva & Carbayo, 、Lago-Barcia & Carbayo, 、Lago-Barcia & Carbayo, 以及Lago-Barcia & Carbayo, 。物种 和 偏离了通常的体型模式,其头部没有横向扩展,也没有腺垫,变得与其姐妹属 难以区分。 (舒尔茨和米勒,1857年)也根据新采集的标本进行了重新描述,并被发现是 的一个成员。Graff(1899年)还研究了另一个被认为与 同种的标本;然而,在这项新研究中得出的结论是,它并非同种,而是一个新物种。建议将Graff标本命名为Lago-Barcia & Carbayo, 。
