, fig. 34d (identification keys).
Distribution

Habitat
Benthic.
Remarks
Diplandros singularis
has cerebro-tentacular eyes and a double male reproductive system located in the anterior part of the paired male gonopore. In addition, it has an interpolated prostatic vesicle and a Lang’s vesicle oriented towards the anterior region of the body.
Hyman (1953a)
was the first to describe the species, placing it in the family
Leptoplanidae
Stimpson, 1857
. However, she noted that the internal morphological arrangement of
Diplandros
is based on the internal plan of
Notoplanides
(review the comments of
Amyris favis
).
