Gigantea montana ( Hyman, 1939) View in CoL
Hyman (1939, as Geoplana montana sp. n.: 426–430, figs. 48d–e, 49a–d; COSTA RICA: Coronado and Volcán Barva) External diagnosis ( Hyman 1939). Up to 70 mm long and 6.5 mm wide. Anterior end small, rounded, quickly widening to a broad, flat body. Eyes very numerous, forming a single irregular row around the anterior end and quickly increasing in number posteriorly, forming a broad irregular band of several eyes on each side until about the middle of the body, then decreasing in size and number toward the posterior end. Dorsum with a light-yellow background covered by a mottled dark-brown pattern on the sides, leaving a broad median stripe with the light-yellow background color. Venter dull white with a little brown pigment on the head. Pharynx about three-fourths from the anterior end and gonopore 7 mm behind the pharynx ( Figure 8a View FIGURE 8 ).
Remarks. The specimens listed below may belong to this species. The description partially matches that provided by Hyman (1939), but the mottled dark-brown pattern on the sides is often more concentrated near the median band and/or may partially cover the median band ( Figure 8b View FIGURE 8 ).
