03E187CEF866FFAD4F10FD79FE1CFD1F.taxon	materials_examined	Type species: Geoplana rubidolineata Baptista & Leal-Zanchet, 2005. Diagnosis: Geoplaninae with small-to-medium-sized body, 6 – 80 mm in length; body slender, with margins nearly parallel; dorsum and ventral side slightly convex; eyes mono-, bi-, and trilobate; pharynx cylindrical; prostatic vesicle extrabulbar, horizontal, or with ventrally oriented proximal portion, with or without forked portion; penis papilla protrusible, conical or cylindrical; ascending portion of ovovitelline ducts lateral to the gonopore canal or the female atrium, joining each other above the female atrium; female canal dorsoanteriorly flexed, arising from the posterodorsal region of the female atrium; female atrium rounded to ovoid, lined with epithelium of multilayered aspect (Rossi & Leal-Zanchet 2023). Etymology: From Tupi paraparaba, multicolored, with many colors, a word formed by reduplication of paraba, variegated, with two colors (Tibiriçá 1984). Additionally, the name could be interpreted as coming from the Greek para, beside, next to, plus the name of the genus Paraba.

03E187CEF866FFAD4F10FD79FE1CFD1F.taxon	description	Paraba multicolor: Negrete & Brusa (2017) Holotype: Specimen represented by Marcus (1951: fig. 177). The current location of this specimen is unknown. Diagnosis: Species of Paraparaba with ferruginous or brownish dorsal band bordered by narrow pale stripes and black body sides; eyes mono- and trilobated; pharynx cylindrical with dorsal insertion displaced posteriorly; prostatic vesicle with globose forked proximal portion; penis papilla conical; female atrium ovoid, with narrow lumen; constriction between male and female atria. Etymology: A feminine derivation of Late Latin impositor, one that applies or imposes something, an impostor, a deceiver; therefore, a female impostor, as this species “ deceived ” taxonomists by assuming the identity of Geoplana multicolor. The word impositor was also used in classical times by polymath Marcus Terentius Varro in his work ‘ De Lingua Latina’ to refer to someone that applies a name to a thing (Lewis and Short 1891); thus, impositrix could also be interpreted as the species that applied a name, in this case Paraba, to a group of land planarian species. The word is used as a noun in apposition.	en	Rossi, Ilana, Boll, Piter Kehoma, Leal-Zanchet, Ana Maria (2024): Multispecies multicolor: resolving the century-old taxonomic trouble of Geoplana multicolor (Platyhelminthes: Geoplanidae).
