Kontikia bulbosa sp. nov. is described. The species is characterized by an intrapenial papilla, dilatations of the vasa deferentia, and a number of bulbous structures projecting from the atrial wall. K. bulbosa differs from the known representatives of its genus in that it has no annular zone of parenchymal longitudinal muscles, but only a ventral layer of these muscles. It is proposed that Froehlich\&$\#$39;s (1955) definition of the genus be adapted so that it also includes Geoplana species with only a ventral layer of parenchymal longitudinal muscles. G. mexicana Hyman, 1939 fulfills the new requirements of Kontikia and, consequently, is transferred to this genus. K. bulbosa was found on Madeira; its occurrence on this island is probably due to passive dispersal.

Triclads use the excess of spermatozoa received from the partner during copulation as an additional source of nutritive material. Digestion of sperm takes place in various sperm resorptive organs, such as the copulatory bursa, lateral bursae, spermiduct, resorptive vesicles, and oviducal tubae. Sperm resorptive organs may concern either newly evolved organs, or result from a change of function in an already existing structure.

This paper provides an overview of the current status of land planarian taxonomy. Familial and subfamilial definitions of Bipaliidae, Rhynchodemidae (Rhynchodeminae and Microplaninae) and Geoplanidae (Geoplaninae, Caenoplaninae and Pelmatoplaninae) are detailed in Systematic Account on the various taxa. Previous taxonomical studies of Taiwan land planarians are discussed. Based on material collected by Lue in 1982-1985, Lee in 2002, and Wu, Tsai and Lin in 2002, this preliminary study identified a total of 18 species: one species of Bipalium kewense Moseley, 1878 and 13 species of Diversibipalium from the family Bipaliidae, one species from the family Rhynchodemidae; two species from the subfamily Caenoplaninae, family Geoplanidae and one species of Australopacifica from the subfamily Caenoplaninae, family Geoplanidae. For each species, the material examined, description, distribution in Taiwan, remarks and specimen figures (if available) are provided in order to promote further studies on the Taiwanese land planarian fauna.
