The family is characterized by the presence of a free right ommatophoral retractor (passing outside the peni-oviducal angle) and a double stimulatory apparatus.[1] A free right ommatophoral retractor has been linked to adaptation to
xeric habitats[3]
Taxonomy
The family Geomitridae is subdivided in the following subfamilies (according to Razkin et al., 2015[1])
Heterostoma W. Hartmann, 1843:[5] synonym of Steenbergia Mandahl-Barth, 1950 (invalid: junior homonym of Heterostoma de Filippi, 1837 [Platyhelminthes])
