Amaga bogotensis


Amaga bogotensis is a species of land planarians that occurs in Colombia in the capital Bogotá and surrounding areas.

Description

Amaga bogotensis has a large and broad, flat body. The dorsal side is grey-black, with two dark yellow stripes, one encircling the body and one mid-dorsal stripe, both around the same width. The copulatory apparatus lacks a permanent penis, but the male atrium is lined by multiple musculo-glandular papillae. The ovovitelline ducts enter the female atrium at the same time, without joining to form a common duct.

Etymology

The name bogotensis refers to the city of Bogotá, Colombia, where the species was first found.
