Anisorhynchodemus

Anisorhynchodemus is a genus of land planarians of the tribe Rhynchodemini. It was erected to include species lacking sufficient morphological information to allow them to be classified in the appropriate genus.[1]

Taxonomy

Many species of land planarians described during the second half of the 19th century and the first half of the 20th century were classified based solely on external characters. Currently, land planarian genera are highly based on internal anatomy, especially the anatomy of the copulatory apparatus. Consequently, species with old descriptions that were never redescribed, so that their internal anatomy remains unknown, cannot be assigned to the correct genus. Thus, the genus Anisorhynchodemus was erected to temporarily accommodate species of the tribe Rhynchodemini whose anatomy of the copulatory apparatus is still unknown.[1]

The name of Anisorhynchodemus is derived from the genus Rhynchodemus and the Greek άνισος (ánisos), meaning "unusual, different, irregular, dissimilar".[2]
