Description
The genus Anzoplana includes land planarians of the tribe Anzoplanini that have a small and robust body, with mouth just behind the mid body and gonopore closer to the mouth than to the posterior end. The mesenchymal longitudinal musculature is weak, not forming clear bundles, but forming a weak ring zone around the intestine and a well-developed subneural plate. The copulatory apparatus has an eversible penis, without papilla, and adenodactyls.[1]
Etymology
The name Anzoplana comes from ANZ, a traditional abbreviation for Australia and New Zealand, combined with Latin plana, flat.[1]

gollark: This is why I have been recently suffering when trying to get Markdown parsing done.
gollark: Though TiddlyWiki and arguably Roam have already done pretty much that and done it better than I'm likely to.
gollark: One of my eternally unfinished side projects is a wiki-style note taking thing which could be neat.
gollark: Yes, I'm aware it's better business-wise, and I don't want to support that.
