Abstract: Leptoplana discus (LeConte, 1851) Elasmodes discos LeConte, 1851: 319 (type locality: Isthmus of Panama). Leptoplana discus – Faubel 1984b: 236 (new combination). Distribution Isthmus of Panama. Habitat Benthic. Remarks LeConte (1851) poorly described the external morphology of Leptoplana discus, focusing solely on its coloration and the number of eyes (without indicating the type of eyes), and did not include any character of the reproductive complex, nor did he make a diagram of the morphology of the species. Faubel (1984b) designated it as a species incertae sedis, due to the lack of characters that define the species. Therefore, it is recommended that the biological material be reviewed to corroborate the status of the species.
