Abstract
Two new species of terrestrial planarians in the family Geoplanidae, Geopla na franciscana and Notogynaphallia guaiana, from the State of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, are described. Both species have a multilayered lining in the female atrium. The study of specimens of N. goetschi, aimed at comparing i t to N. guaiana, reveals the need for a re-description and review of N. goe tschi.
