Description
The genus Caenoplana is characterized by having an elongate, cylindrical to sub-cylindrical body. The eyes are arranged along the body margins, crowded irregularly at the sides of the anterior end and extending in a single row to the posterior end. The copulatory apparatus lacks a permanent penis, i. e., the penis is formed during copulation by folds in the male cavity. The female cavity is irregular and narrow and the ovovitelline ducts join each other behind it, entering it ventrally.[1]

The genus Caenoplana includes, among others, the following species:
- Caenoplana coerulea Moseley, 1877
- Caenoplana micholitzi (Graff, 1899)
- Caenoplana sieboldi (Graff, 1899)

gollark: EVERY byte error until place 7300 or so is a 13 instead of a 10.
gollark: Oh, hmm, there are actually more byte errors than I thought but the length seems to only be off by one.
gollark: I checked, it does not seem to be.
gollark: So I know that the difference is *somehow* one byte in the last 1500 bytes or so of the file.
