Microplana robusta is a species of land planarian belonging to the subfamily Microplaninae.
The specific epithet is derived from the Latin robustus, meaning "strong, firm", alluding to the large body size.
[2] M. robusta is distinguished from other members of the genus Microplana via its muscular penis bulb, with circular and longitudinal muscle fibers, short penis papilla, short genito-intestinal duct, and a lack of a copulatory bursa.
The body is cylindrical, bluntly pointed on both ends.
