Newzealandia is a genus of land planarians from New Zealand.
Description
Species of the genus Newzealandia are characterized by a copulatory apparatus that lacks a penis papilla and has a series of accessory glands embedded into the wall of the atrial cavity. Those glands are similar to the adenodactyls found in the closely related genus Artioposthia, the main difference being that adenodactyls project into the atrial cavity.
Etymology
The name Newzealandia comes from New Zealand, the country in which the species of the genus are found.

Newzealandia agricola (Dendy, 1895)
Newzealandia graffii (Dendy, 1895)
