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.</p>
