It alludes to the characteristically flattened, leaf-shaped body of the species of the genus. The gender is female. <i>Diagnosis</i>. Geoplaninae with medium-sized to large body, 30–300 mm in length; body broad, flattened, leafshaped; eyes mono- and trilobulated, dorsal; part of the sensory pits arranged in 2–4 rows on each side of the body; pharynx cylindrical or bell-shaped; prostatic vesicle extrabulbar, short, curved and anteriorly branched; penis papilla protrusible, conical, horizontal, occupying entire male atrium, with dorsal insertion posterior to the ventral, sometimes laterally displaced; male atrium, not folded, generally not separated from the female one; ascending portion of the ovovitelline ducts lateral to the female atrium and joining each other above it; genital canal dorso-anteriorly flexed, arising from the postero-dorsal or posterior region of the female atrium; female atrium ample, long or funnelshaped. <i>Distribution</i>. States of Amaṕa, Minas Gerais, Rio de Janeiro, Stao Paulo, Para&amp;nacute;a, Santa Catarina, Rio Grande do Sul, in Brazil. <i>Type species</i>. <i>Geoplana fryi</i> von Graff, 1899 <i>Species of</i> Obama. <i>Obama apeva</i> (Froehlich, 1959) comb. n. <i>Obama applanata</i> (von Graff, 1899) comb. n. <i>Obama argus</i> (von Graff, 1899) comb. n. <i>Obama assu</i> (Froehlich, 1959) comb. n. <i>Obama baptistae</i> (Leal-Zanchet &amp; Oliveira, 2012) comb. n. <i>Obama braunsi</i> (von Graff, 1899) comb. n. <i>Obama burmeisteri</i> (Schultze &amp; Müller, 1857) * comb. n. <i>Obama carbayoi</i> (Oliveira &amp; Leal-Zanchet, 2012) comb. n. <i>Obama carinata (</i> Riester, 1938) * comb. n. <i>Obama carrierei</i> (von Graff, 1897) comb. n. <i>Obama catharina</i> (Hyman, 1957) comb. n. <i>Obama dictyotona</i> (Riester, 1938) comb. n. <i>Obama divae</i> (Marcus, 1951) comb. n. <i>Obama eudoxiae</i> (Ogren &amp; Kawakatsu, 1990) comb. n. <i>Obama eudoximariae</i> (Ogren &amp; Kawakatsu, 1990) comb. n. <i>Obama evelinae</i> (Marcus, 1951) comb. n. <i>Obama ferussaci</i> (von Graff, 1897) comb. n. <i>Obama ficki</i> (Amaral &amp; Leal-Zanchet, 2012) comb. n.
