In 1986 De Vries designated a neotype for D. subtentaculata after the original type material was lost. She also synonymized the species D. iberica, described from Mallorca and Iberian Peninsula, with D. subtentaculta. Both the neotype and the holotype are from the surroundings of Montpellier, from a locality where asexual specimens of D. subtentaculata and sexual individuals of D. gonocephala are found living together.[4]
Dugesia subtentaculata is related to other European Dugesia species. However, its exact phylogenetic position is not known.[6]
