Pelmatoplanini is a tribe of land planarians in the subfamily Rhynchodeminae.

The tribe Pelmatoplanini is defined as containing land planarians with a narrow body with tapered anterior end. The eyes are numerous and clustered along the sides of the body on the anterior half, usually not extending behind the mouth. The pharynx in cylindrical and the creeping sole is narrow, occupying less than 25% of the ventral side. The cutaneous longitudinal muscles are very weak, not forming bundles.
