Remarks

Tripyloplana virgae are described by Sopott-Ehlers & Schmidt (1975) within the genus Copidoplana . Faubel (1983) transferred the species to the genus Tripyloplana (family Notoplanidae ), based on the presence of a separate male and female atrium; a character that in the genus Copidoplana is determined as a common genital atrium. Review the remarks of Amyris favis on the change of family.
